Napa Valley, California, USA
This 10 year old Napa Cabernet is drinking very nicely now. Showing black fruits with chocolates, coke, earth, light vegetables, vanilla, oak, licorice and black pepper.
Full bodied elegant and smooth with medium acidity.
Long finish with firm tannins after 3 hours of airtime.
Nice mouthfeel, but let it open up properly.
13.8% alcohol by volume.
90 points

One of my top two favorite budget cabernets - right behind Concannon.
