Deep ruby hue with high saturation. Aromas and flavors of baking spice, blackberry, cream, jam, oak, raspberry, and vanilla. Medium-high body; medium-plus tannins; and medium-high acidity. Enticing nose; smooth palate; lovely, long finish. Solid Napa Cab, silky and balanced. Majority of fruit from Yountville, and the rest from Calistoga. Barrel-aged in French oak (45% new) for 19 months.

Big time tartrate crystals when I open had me worried it'd be disjointed. But it was wonderfully complex and balanced. Lavender, leather. The fruit is on the precipice of red and black. Really delicious Cab! Best wishes to everyone in Northern California right now. Stay safe.
