Fruity (both red and black, a lot of plum) and quite some greenness. The oak is on the lighter side for a napa cab. Bold on the palate, intense punch of fruit with some tobacco and spices. High alcohol and acidity, chalky tannins. Overall not bad but not too interesting, lacking structure and complexity.

Another very good bottle of this. Old-schoolish Napa with good freshness.

Quite frankly not a favorite. Oaky but a bit thin. Would have liked more body and taste of berries. There is better out there for that price.

Decanted 30-45 minutes. Dark fruit, leather. Medium bodied. Paired well with a prime rib dinner and well after on its on.
