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.

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.
