Pleasant purple color and nose. Not overpowering. Soft but lingering finish. Very enjoyable but safe. Nothing stands out. Would be a crowd pleaser at a party but didn’t blow me away.

Tannic, hard. Perhaps ageworthy. Not super ripe, which I like.

Confirmation that Cain is one of my all time favorite consistent Napa wines. Pure artistry and complexity without the fatty fruit.

Lighter than expected. Open up nicely. “Pretty damn good” would definitely get again.

Coffee and blueberry with a hint of smoke. Lots of tannin. Sea salt notes on the nose and front palette. Chocolate notes on the finish.
