Really good affordable Napa. Excellent cassis and cherry fruit with brambles and some sweet spice. Lacked a bit of length for higher scores but seriously enjoyable. Has at least 10 years of life left as still quite primary. Nice!

Lush, warm fruits with spices. Some acidity on the back, but very pleasant, and big, wine. This is a good representation of the genre, and I am delighted to be drinking it.

Pop and poured, quite dense and muted, not very long but good flavours. Surprisingly inky, will give it more air next time. Not overly impressed at this showing but others appreciated it.

Like this bottle quite a bit. Smooth and good finish. Second time around was just as good as the first.
