Worth the time to decant this wine. First taste on the palate had a distinctive salinity that dissipated over time. Even so, on that first taste the fruit was abundant and became more so over time.

Good notes of blueberry and possible raspberry. Full body, decanted for an hour or so - still felt closed - could use some more time and age. Finish was still very smooth.

Definitely a shame to drink it so soon. Let this one sit for 6 years and it will be stunning. If you have to drink it, decant and wait an hour. It will open up like an old friend after of divorce. Plenty of fruit and smooth tannins.

Up there with mondovi and beringer. Suspect I drank this a decade too soon. Will buy again and wait in my remaining stash.

Excellent wine. Maybe the best 2017 Napa cab I've tasted.
