  Tasted on the mountain with Ketan. Loved this.
  
  Just starting to turn and show some age. After about 6h of air it is shows a great balance between aged fruit and mountain structure. The more air it sees the more the aged notes come out.
  
  A lovely wine that is drinking at peak for me. Will comfortably cellar for another 5+ years.

  Interesting, if somewhat polarizing wine. I liked its balance, but others found it wanting. More red than black fruit, with just about everything dialed back from current Napa cabs. Mostly that is a good thing, but definitely tough when being tasted next to 10+ other Napa cabs (Lokoya, Elyse, Chimney Rock, Insignia, and others). I spent a lot of time talking about Keetan, but found it tough to get people interested. Their loss I think.

  Deep ruby. Leather on the nose. On the palate black cherries and pepper. Needs a good decant now, this is still very tannic and it does unwind a bit with air. This is built to go for decades. Outstanding and will improve, hold. (94 points)

  PNP needed an hour to open up. Classic nose of cassis and red currant. Same on the palate, vivid fruit, medium body, medium plus acid, just a touch of green. Well integrated tannins. Old school Napa style cab. Ready to go, although there is no rush.

  The nose is a tight, dry, and herbal black fruit with essences of menthol and Luxardo cherry. The palate entry is well-focused dry red fruit and cassis. Cedar and mature, polished blue plum on the core finishing with notes of camphor. Drink 2019 – 2025.
