Red fruit on the nose, rhubarb, violets, leather; on the palate there is blueberry, cherry, cassis, some oak influence (vanilla, tannin), leather, spice. Great balance, elegant, soft supple tannins, clean acidity.

While cork was trashed (looked great, crumbled on impact), the wine held up really well. Deep black fruit, sage and mint, bacon, wet leaves. Truly delish!!!

Beautiful fruit, still going strong. Very nice balance, structure, and excellent barrel choices.

Jammy, juicy and with an element of high elevation/mountain tannins.
A slight browning at the edges would normally concern me on a Napa CS "only" 7 years old but (served at room temp) this is just deliciously layered and to my palate, in a perfect drinking window now.

Opulent fruit on this massive wine. Super extracted purple color. I almost dismissed Cabernet, but then thought better of it.

Everything i hope for from Napa cab without being wildly over ripe. Tons of richness, tobacco, blackberry, tar, black pepper and chocolate on the aromatics with mountains of richness and mid palate on the palate. A phenomenal wine.
