Forest floor, sour cherry and fennel on the nose. Dark fruit, light spice and black tea. Smoky oak finish — 4 years ago
Medium garnet ,medium terracotta rim . Quite spiced , dried fruits, tobacco , touch of caramel , warm earth . Smoky . On the palate quite sweet mix of red and dark fruits, red plum , dark cherry , spiced tobacco, hickory . Quite sweet on the finish , menthol hint, with a touch of caramel on the finish, slightly grippy tannin. This improved quite a lot in the glass , with more fruit noticeable , fills out quite well , better balance. Drink now and over the next couple of years. — 8 months ago

The higher alcohol content of this wine made this slightly more bitter than I would like, but still quite good! Very good value. — 3 years ago
This is a big fruit forward wine. Probably the best DS I’ve had in awhile and ‘14s. Black licorice on the nose and a lot of baked dark fruit. Palate is well balance. Fruit, acid and great texture. — 4 years ago

This paired well with the flank steak w/ mash potato purée prepared by the Wynn Hotel.
A very solid & consistent producer of Napa Cabernet. I do enjoy the Napa 21 reds. High quality vintage.
