Palate is loaded with syrupy but not quite cloying red fruit and an abundance of oak that is well-integrated - a big, modern, polished Napa Cab in a really good place at the moment.

Had at a tasting. Needs more time to truly express itself. Could see the potential.

One of my favorites of the night. Value is banging on this red fruited old school cab with a smidge of flash. A wine for the long haul, drinking incredibly young and coiled, but one can start to unfurl it slowly now.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark purple color. Fruit forward aromas of black currant, blackberry, violets and graphite. Pallet features dark fruit, baking spices, bakers chocolate and that ever present graphite. Rich and luxurious. Tannins are nicely integrated with just enough acidity. Fruit was restrained. Very Left Bank “Bordeaux-like” Red. Best with food.

Opened the 2019 just to see how it is drinking now. Very tight but a nice balanced blend.
Laid a few bottles down for 2027.
