Decanted and served. This took about 90 minutes to put on weight but it was tasty from the start. Blueberries and tobacco on the nose. On the palate, chewy tannins, blueberry compote, leather, earth. Yummy.

Clearly, this Cab is getting better with age. Along with its deep dark blackberry fruit, this wine has gained more complexity with forest floor and hints of grass notes. Tastes almost like a new world Bordeaux blend rather than a straight Cab. While the nose is somewhat shut down, the finish lingers with a plum-like spice note. Very interesting wine as it ages.

Smk birthday Canlis - 2013 - beautiful cab / blend w/ chocolate notes. Silky smooth w/ minimal tannins, but still feels like there a lot left in this vintage. Enjoyed w/ an excellent filet and misc accouterments. Wine paired perfectly w/ the delicate filet. Enjoyed through dessert (creme brûlée) and it even drank well through the sweetness of the dessert.

Rich, concentrated, plum like fruit that has great structure with smoothly integrated tannins...this is an outstanding Napa Cab which may be the best Coup de Foudre I have tasted. Hints of milk chocolate and spice make this complex as well. The finish keeps on going with a taste of black berries.

This wine was over the top. Probably not worth 100 samolians but wth.
