This continues to drink well and has blossomed over time. Complexity is now showing with chocolate, tobacco, cherries, plums and a hint of spice. Firm tannins and good structure.

Just delicious. Fruity; firm tannins; lovely long finish. No cloying glycerin that you often get with a California Cabernet.) With this, we will have consumed all four bottles in our cellar. No self control. We purchased them at a discount last year at an Ovation Dinner at the Stage in Honolulu. (Sommelier Sky Cameron never gets it wrong.) We wish we had more to see how time impacts this gem. So off we go to find more.

On the nose lots of spicy, earthyness and dark fruits. On the palate lots of dark fruits, earthyness and spice. Medium tannin, spice that lingers and a long finish. Very bold and big, not as overextracted as most Napa wines though, this one has an elegance to it.

Very similar to a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon at around 1/3 the cost. Dark and intense, black fruit, dried fruit, truffle, leather.
