  Big ripe Napa Cab. Red and black fruits, perhaps slightly bitter black plums. Gorgeous garnet purple ink in the glass. Smooth cherry and vanilla on the nose. My main disappointment and difference with most TNs here and WS score.... I get a strong vegetal / green note on the finish, more than I would expect for a five year Napa cab. Mayne I should have waited five more years.

  Red berry nose. Smooth tannins red fruit and blueberry on the palate. This was ready to go. No decanting necessary

  CC Ranch is from the Rutherford area and I think I may actually be "getting" the Rutherford Dust idea. This wine changed dramatically over the course of 3 hours. Initially little fruit and then it unfolded. Became very pleasant with tabacco, soft cocoa, cherries and the Rutherford dust. It was my only bottle and I would purchase again.
  
  Tasted this via a virtual tasting from Nickel and Nickel and wine maker Joe Harden. June 2020

  Sharp red fruit. Still young. Lovely depth and concentration. Drank during virtual tasting with N&N young winemaker Joe Harden. Great experience which added to the enjoyment.
