Delicious blend of complex and well integrated aromas and flavors. Dark berries, ripe fruit and smoky oak notes. Nice surprise. Tasted after 4 hours of being decanted. Well structured wine.

From a winery we really miss, this is the flagship cuvee from Delectus. Their daughter did the artwork for their Cuvee Julia bottles, and with rare exceptions (their 2007 Cab Franc being one of them), this meritage is always the star of a given vintage. Classic Napa cab that is still drinking really well.
