I was expecting an angel to sing in my ear, given the vintage and producer. My experience fell well short. Needed loads of air to coax it out of its shell. Overall, a disappointment.
Screwcap closure.

Screwcap. Muted, closed. Fruit profile is in the background. A chewy, backward example, which I don't think will improve from where it is today.

What a well made Napa cab. Decadent from 07’ so no surprise. Complex and evolved over 2 hours. Want more.

A wonderful 2007 Californian Cab. Hints of strawberry and anise against a foundation that is neither too fruit forward nor tannic.

I'm a fan. Stunning and drinking perfectly. Classic Howell Mountain juice, firm tannins, gorgeous balance assisted by the merlot.

Surprised 2007 is not as good as 2010! I must admit, I was actually disappointed... 2010 was far superior
