Wonderfully aged with well integrated tannins and acidity. Soft tannins allow layers of black peppercorns, ripe cherries, figs, dark chocolate and toast.

Drinking really well, but needs at least a 30min decant to open up and come together. Well balanced dark fruit & food friendly acidity, although tannins have softened considerably. Medium finish. Drink up over the next year or so.

In its youth this was one of the more unyielding '12 Napa Cabs that I've had, but it has finally come into its own. Still needs a little air to shine and should hold for a few more years. Makes me excited to try the '12 Select and Reserve. 92/3

Very nice, drinking well but not so much on day 2. So I guess that means drink up.

Drinking nicely after 30-60 min of air time to open up. Well balanced wine, medium finish
