Dark ruby/ purple in color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black fruits with cedar, chocolates, spices, herbs and light earth.
Full-bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and very fruity with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, toast, light vanilla, dark chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light earth, black tea and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious 8 year old Cabernet based blend from Napa Valley. Fruit forward with nice complexity. Showing a soft mouthfeel, elegant and rich.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with some air time.
Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.
A blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 12% Sangiovese. Aged in (90% new) French Oak barrels for 20 months.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

2020 vintage. With @Beth Novak . Decanted and tasted after one hour. Medium body. Nose practically leapt out of the glass with plenty to discuss. Flavors a bit more subdued but definitely present. Just enough back-end, tannic presence to hold court. This should be absolute dynamite in 3-5 years. Initial visit a bit over two years ago (9.5) and was more explosive but will cede that to the last impression getting more air time. Said then that this was my fave since the 1991 vintage and sticking by that. 1.2.26. โ 24 days ago
Lovely. Beautiful deep aromas on the nose. Eucalyptus and brambly blue fruit. Some menthal. Velvety and rustic at the same time. Fan โ 2 months ago

Hello from bitter cold MN. Woke up this morning to -23 degree temps and it was garbage dayโฆ. ๐ฅถ
Continuing my month of drinking 2016 wines. Almost opened Pape Clement tonight. Thoughts on if thatโs too soon anyone? Smash or pass?
This is drinking very well. Has that Corison thing with great tension of fruit and acidity. Mouthwatering.
Cheers all. ๐ท stay warm and safe this weekend. โ 4 days ago
