This is a quintessential’07 Napa Cab. The nose has the same type intensity of high quality Hermitage Rhône Syrah that leaps out of the glass and hits you with complexity and vibrancy.
The nose is brimming with deep dark black cherries, saddle leather, cranberry compote, blackberries and a hint of green herbs. On the palate I get the same level of complexity of flavors combined with a nice structure built for a great grilled steak. The finish is smoky with nice mouth gripping tannins.
This wine has plenty of leg room for aging, but is drinking extremely well right now.

Very good wine, especially for $50. Big, bold ripe, and full bodied but not an overpowering cab. Not too hot. Very sizable and very nice with hearty food (lamb, salty cheese). A nice example of 07 napa cab for the money. Yum!

Nice Napa cab. Less oak than most, more of a restrained effort.

Good but a little thin and slightly acidic, even with broiled rack of lamb
