  Deep purple. Very Napa. Blackberry, Mesquite, graphite, earth and hints of vanilla and coffee beans. Rich, full-bodied dark-fruited palate with mouthwatering acidity providing lift and pulling you back for more. This is still very young and primary although provides considerable pleasure with an hour or so of air. Lots of upside potential with further cellaring.

  This was incredible, and reminded me of why I love Napa so much. What's more, although it isn't cheap, I think it represents great QPR and could easily improve with a cellar nap (although it doesn't need it; already very delicious.)
  
  A real feat of balance between a rich, dark, concentrated style and surprisingly precise, chiseled structure. It doesn't have the kind of effortless perfume that comes with bottle age, but you could still smell it from feet away. Black, black fruit- blackberry compote, black cherry cola, vivid mocha (one of my fave notes in good Napa), browned butter, allspice, violet floral tones. Surprisingly racy and electric for the style, too- very polished and ultramodern. Not made in the classical earthy green style, but not even close to the early-2000s jammy style either. Just glorious. Easy 96+ with a little time...

  One hour double decant. Deep dark intense magenta color. Blueberry, crumble coffee cake, and red currant jelly. Dry, sultry palate. Plush, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish.
  
  This is one of the best Napa CS below $100. I’ve had three bottles now and it’s very consistent. Not likely to get better, but it doesn’t need to.
