Black raspberry followed by rich, dark chocolate, layered over vanilla with some secondary charcoal. It's massive, but doesn't explode, rather, it has a mellow nature about it. A gentle giant.

Unctuous, viscous and fruit forward. We're seeing a lot of wines in this style from 2012. Approachable young, if a bit overblown for my personal tastes. Still.....this is a wine that manages to show a good sense of place, easily recognizable as Napa cab. Also, nice aromatic and flavor qualities that are present in much more expensive offerings from the region. Alcohol is present.
