I purchased the 2015 and 2016 on release for about $20. To me it’s one of the best entry level Napa cab money can buy. And in great vintage like 2016, it punches way above its weight.
It opens with a vibrant bouquet of ripe blackberry, cassis, and a hint of fresh mint. On the palate, the sun-drenched, dark fruit flavors are beautifully reined in by a core of fresh acidity. Supple tannins and notes of vanilla and cocoa round out the finish.

Bought at BV 10/25 $133. Ombre if the best Cabernets we've ever had. Bold, rich, smooth. — 7 days ago
Yep, dark mature fruited minerals and good long finish — 4 months ago
Delightful, well-balanced SB. Green apple, freshly mown grass, and the faintest green pepper. A bit of minerally zip like a light rain on gravel. — 2 months ago

Dried red fruits, baking spices, cedar, Price Albert tobacco, coco nibs, stewed tomato and leather. Maintains good acidity with softened tannins. A bit past its prime but still drinking well.
Perfect wine for watching the Las Vegas Grand Prix! — 15 days ago
