Deep ruby color leads to a textbook Napa Cabernet nose of cassis, cherry, and dark chocolate. Medium full body shows great blackberry, dark cherry, and vanilla notes with a bit of currant and mushroom in the background. Finishes with velvety silky tannins that last 45 seconds.
This was decanted 1 hour prior to drinking. I found this to be a beautiful example of Napa Cab. I am very pleasantly surprised how much wine this has improved since release. This is 3rd bottle consumed.

Dark ruby black without a hint of purple. Very restrained leathery cherry flavors. With an hour of airing this gets quite lovely. Restrained, yet gushing with dark cherry fruit. A serious wine. Now or hold.

Amazing wine - dart ruby color. Needs 1-2 hours to truly open up. Cherry and leather - solid Cab from an amazing winery.

Dark inky purple. Still rather tight, but opens up after about an hour in the glass
Smoky cassis, rich leathery flavors. Quite nice, but I'd hold off
