Dark, dense color, nice nose, rich texture, soft tannins and acidity, ok fruit with a slight off finish that airs off. Saved a glass in the bottle and pumped the air out and the flavors improved the next day. Probably aerate or decant the next bottles if opened within a year.

Decanted for 2 hours. Very much like the previous vintages, this is a very New World Cab, not exceptional, but decent. A typically big, rich (California) Cab, with lots of dark fruit, and oak, but this vintage had a touch of a medicinal aftertaste that lingered way too long. Have to give this a Neutral 90 Points rating.
Honestly, the best thing about this, is that drumroll please, this vintage has had a price decrease of ~25%!!! When, in the last 30+ Years, have you seen a Napa Winery REDUCE their CS price, well at least WTSO reduced their $$$. Actually, that alone, makes me feel like I should give it a better rating. Sounded good, but no, not yet. 😜

Pleasing initial flavors. There is a bit of a chemical aftertaste. Much bettwr on day three.
