Nez de cerises, tabac à pipe, menthol. Tanins soyeux, le vin montre une belle évolution et développe de fines notes mentholées, avec un excellent équilibre. C’est long et savoureux. Excellent cab de Napa. 92 pts

Deep dark center, red rim with some purple and a little sign of age. Coffee, plums, cassis and a little soap. Smooth, chocolate and coffee (quite Cab Franc like), slightly underripe damsons, caramel, significant tannin and acidity still, alcohol is a little prominent, toasty oak, long finish. Some evolution over the last 2 years, not sure where this is going to go, fruit feels a little muddled and the acidity is still high. Hold off on remaining bottles for a few years.

Absolutely delicious. Perfect balance of smooth and supple tannin structure with the depth and complexity that comes with a properly aged California Cabernet. Absolutely loved this bottle. First one in a while of a case. Had creme de cassis some blackberry and just a hint of raspberry and blueberry notes. Down to five remaining bottles. Hope to revisit another bottle sometime soon as this really went well with the steak I paired with it (filet) at Sear Steakhouse in Solvang.

Oak in reasonable check. Well balanced. Good integration and fruit holding up well.
