Pretty serious cab, good structure, drinking ok now but will likely improve with a couple more years. '17 doesn't seem to be a great Napa vintage - I bet something like the '16 vintage of this would be excellent. Pricey, but the quality is apparent..

Dark red to the edges. Bittersweet chocolate, tobacco, cherries on the nose. Smooth and intense fruit on the palate, cherries, currants, dark chocolate. Fine tannins, nice acidity and balance. Finishes long with black cherries and chocolate. Lovely. Could use 2 to 3 years to develop and drink well for 6 years.

Big nose of dark fruit and bramble. Plum and cedar and maybe a little sage and pepper. Full bodied a silky. Long finish, medium at best acidity.
