Gorgeous ! This bottle was a knockout. It's just in a perfect place. Together with the Saxum 2007 James Berry this was the WOTN in a heady line up. We didn't take any notes but it was rich and luxurious. Soft tannins. beautiful nose. This is definitely a test book example of a modern cab. We loved it.

I have been on a bad run with older vintages (for CA cabs 10+ years is older). There has been a stewed prune undertone that has replaced the fruit. The wine is extremely silky and the more earth tones are there. I think this wine is 3-5 years past it's prime.

decent napa cab, but terrible qpr. alcohol and heat completely overwhelm this wine. drank over 2 days and this big boy never mellowed out. might have been good with some red meat, but very difficult on its own. drink or hold

Absolutely stunning! Incredible cherry nose and several layers of depth and flavor.
