This is a "drink now" bottle if you have any in your cellar. Drank with dinner and it was very good, with a nice blend of primary and tertiary notes, silky mouthfeel, and a long finish. The acidity, however, is way down and it's not very tannic. Agree with the comments on the vintage (2011) because Napa Cabs from adjacent vintages - my experience - have more remaining life and potential.

Disappointing, like a lot of other 2011 Napa wines I guess. Still expected more.

Came in last on all 5 tasting cards against 4 other Napa Cabs 2010-2014. Very disappointing! Drinkable but stalky and hollow.
