Perfect weather where we sit, yet can watch the storm roll in a mile away. Light for a Napa cab, Raspberry and gasoline on the nose, quick finish (that's what she said.)

On initial opening, I would’ve sworn this had some merlot in it, as there was a clear mocha note present. However, with air, that dissipated and the 60% cab sauv /40% cab franc came across as nicely integrated and showing more typical of both those grapes, with plum and floral notes coming through clearly. Give it an hour in the decanter or cellar for another year or two.

Excellent full bodied cab with great nose of blackberries and dark cherry, smooth early with fruit forward berries and nice long easy finish with some dark chocolate, woody and tobacco flavors toward the end. Nice!
