Medium-deep garnet in color with slight clearing at the edges. Full, forward, well developed ripe dark fruits of cherries, berries & plums, some leather notes, earthy, dusty and some dusty undertones in the background. Full bodied with a good centration of smooth, round and developed ripe dark fruit flavors of cherries, plums, earthy, a hint of licorice & tar. Lingering and smooth mellow finish. A very attractive and pleasant Napa Cab at the peak of its development.

Dark, smooth, ripe, plush, well-resolved tannins. Cedar, cassis. Nary a green note. Still youthful. Good mid-palate

We liked it better than the 1994 at the IGG dinner.
