Big and bold, is aging well and will continue to improve. Was a little tight upon opening although after 3-4 hours it started to open up nicely and the tannins softened up some.

Rich, layered flavors of blackberry and currants, tanins were very balanced and some of the spice and earthiness was beginning to show. Great now, but will age very well to show more complexity.

Big and bold with an explosive nose of dark fruit and and a bit of forest floor. A full range of rich blackberry, cassis and spice with an extremely long finish with hints of mocha and earth. I think this is a great example of a big Napa cab with local character.

balanced, mild to moderate body, not acidic, moderate fruit. Stand alone fine. Mixed reviews as some tasters did not like this style

Smooth tannins, lingering finish. Hint of blackberry and cherry adds to finish. Excellent wine.
