Holding much better than baby sister. Right in its age wheelhouse. Good dark fruit. Chocolate.

Still firing on all cylinders. I think this is our last 2012 Napa. Great body and could still go for sure. Decanted about an hour.

A rich, dense ruby color, hints at the dark fruit nose of blackberry and currant that carries through to the palate, interwoven with complex aromas of black licorice, anise and creme de cassis. On the palate, the wine opens up to reveal an earthiness, with brown spice, cigar box and ripe dark fruits that linger throughout the extracted and long finish. The texture is opulent and rich, yet has a velvety quality with supple density.

We had the 2014 Vintage on 12/16-17/23. A real good Napa Cab. Blackberry, plum and cassis. Tannins smoothed out. Fruit forward, New World, full bodied. Better than the regular Can

Going through some changes from earlier bottles. Would definitely benefit from 1hr decanting.

Not too much decanting … the wine seemed softer than the big jammy caymus select I am used to.
