Soft floral aromas rise from the glass. Grippy tannins with good acidity and amazing structure. Dark fruit flavors of blackberry with a hint of bong cherry. Terrific flavor. Finnish is persistently long. Fantastic.

Still early on this one as the oak is still strong. It's got plenty of life in it. I expect this to be fabulous in another 10 years. 12/24/16. 2nd bottle - 4 years later. Tannins subsiding, but oak still there but in balance. This is entering prime drinking window. Fantastic Napa cab with great aroma and flair balance. Pure pleasure. 2/19/2021

Very dark red/purple color. PNP, drank 2 glasses over 90 minutes. Powerful, eucalyptus, dense and layered, gorgeous dark fruits, cassis, boysenberry, mulberry, pencil. Intense, licorice, Asian spices, pepper woodsy, just explodes on the palate. Fabulous, and right in the zone, should golden for another decade easy.
