On the nose there are loads of soft red fruit and some mineral. Lovely ripe fruit, it's drinking great right now. Rich and decadent feel. Tons of red berry and some floral notes.

A very good year for Napa, this one is good but not a real performer for such a good year. The nose loamy, raspberry, oak, coffee. The taste is fruit forward with an acidic transistion to a still very tannic finish. Will this wine improve for the next few year? 87, I wouldn't bet on it, have with hearty red suaces and red meat to soften the tannin and release it.
