very nice for a BIG Napa mountain fruit cab, served to my step-dad of 36 years cuz I know he likes his wine big, this did the trick in style, big in your face fruit, decent acidity for balance, color was dark, dark purple... I liked it pretty well which, given my aversion to BIG wines and in your face cabs was a statement on the quality

At the ranch with family. Kept its age well but seems to be nearing the “oth” stage. Smooth tannins and has that great Napa 11 year old cab nose. Favored over a $200 2012 Napa Cab.

Drink up, time is ticking. But nonetheless, it's performing very well as the tannins have grown soft and supple. The nose gives off a faint scent of flowers and cedar. The acidity is still very good and the dominant taste is cherry and cassis.
