This wine seems to be improving, from very good to great! This was very enjoyable, with ripe red and black fruit, soft tannins, and well balanced. Very good QPR for a top-end Napa Cab / Bourdeaux blend.

This is everything I could ask for from a Bordeaux blend from Napa fruit. Complexity, nice mix of dark and red fruit. Very subtle oak. Not overly tannic or big in any way. For what it is, I'd pay the release price on this all day from Realm.

Belated note: Young - tight the first day like most 2018s. Next day was much improved. Holding.

Complex long finish cab. Great at price point. Needs a solid decant and drank better for me on day 2 and then perfectly 3 after frig.
