  Drinking nicely these many years later.
  A few bottles remain ready to drink.
  Roasted meat and chocolate on the nose and palate.
  Spicey w out being tight and the fruit has muddied.
  Open and drink.

  Wow, 2005 vintage, this wine has aged quite well. Ever so slight bronze on the edge, otherwise a beautiful garnet color. Medium nose of tart red fruit but mostly cedar and cigar box. Intense fruit of cassis, strawberry, raspberry cherry and ripe plum midpalate followed by hint of licorice and Mediterranean herbs. Finish was long and complex, amazed at how well structured this wine is after eighteen years. Got to love Napa cabs.

  Good overall but nothing super special. Probably a bit past its prime.

  Decent everyday Cab, perhaps a little tired

  Solid dark garnet in color with no bricking. Fruit and a hint of leather on the nose. Palate is rich with well integrated tannins. Probably at its peak now.
