Thoroughly enjoyed this bottle. Dark fruit up front, and a bit of cedar, decent mid-palate and a relatively long finish. Just the right amount of oak (for me) - I enjoy this profile much more than the typical Napa cab.

nose shows blackberry and boysenberry backed by minerality. palate has good clarity of blackberry with violet, vanilla and some spice. was initially a bit hot on the finish, but after about as hour in decanter, the acid emerged to bring the wine into balance.
