Rich and lush, lots of violet, cassis, tar, dark cherry. On palate, rich cherry, tobacco, long pleasing finish, smooth tannins. Quintessential Napa cab from the pre- high alcohol fruit bomb era.

One of the great value Napa brands (from an otherwise expensive valley) that sadly had to close their doors.

With fruit sources like To Kalon, Dr. Crane, Herb Lamb and Morisoli I was amazed how they could turn out wines like this for just $45+

I think there is work behind the scene to bring back the label but until then I guess we'll just have to enjoy these older vintages which can still be found at auctions for reasonable prices.

I miss the good ol' days...!!
