This wine has continued to evolve and improve over time. Still plenty of ripe red and black fruit on the palate mixed with baking spices. Succulent texture, mildly chewy, savory finish. Standout Napa Merlot, clear virtue from a hotter vintage without excess alcohol.

Dark mountain fruit; a bit of brown on the edges; not showing too much age!

Big fruit. Awesome the first day. Lost most of its life after that. Still very solid and enjoyable. Would probably drink it soon if you have it.

Rich, fruit forward, with wonderful wood well integrated, a bit hot for my liking. Moderate finish.
