For $45, this is a phenomenal value. Marco DiGuillio is the winemaker for this one, owned by Vintage Wine Estates. This is a Bordeaux styled wine, showing a very fragrant nose of fresh violets, gravel/flint dust, leather, black peppercorn, and green bell pepper. The pallet is elegant, and still fresh- Créme-de-Casis, dark cherry, dark chocolate, espresso, and a lingering finish of fresh red apple skin. I absolutely feel this is one of the best values in midrange Napa Cab. Great effort - enjoy now til 2021.
