Dark fruit, cassis, vanilla. Staple Napa Cabernet with enough backbone to keep it from being flabby.

Well rounded, dry and balanced. No outstanding notes of berries but more of a mild wash over the palette. Pairs with filet or mild pork

Not a great Napa cab at all. Has a nice nose to it but everything stops there. This wine is flat and doesn't seem to have a hint of fruit or any other distinctive Napa flavors. Would not buy again but would still like to try some of there higher end wine.
