Drinks well now. Will get better as it stays open. This should be in a decanter for at least 2 hours before first sip. How do i know that, because I wish I did. Tannins are shallow but berries are deep. Color is dark and nose is light oak.

Magnum. Purple color. Deep, dark fruit with that classic Napa sweetness. Baking spices and subtle oak round out a great wine. Nice depth and finish.

1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Many facets from my previous note. If having blind I’d probably go Italian versus Napa Cab. Cedar, cherries, and some plums on the nose and throughout. Maybe a cross between Amarone and Brunello. Medium finish.

Consumes 07/2020. I previously said it but I will say it again, I have aged this for too long. The cork crumbled and made a mess. The taste was sour. I used to go to Napa every year and this was my favorite release party to go to. Absolutely loved their wines. I can’t afford to go anymore and I have tried to hang on to the shipments that I had as long as I could. It’s time to let go.

Dark ripe fruit. Big fruit modest tannins. Drinking well now but will open up nicely through the bottle.

Drinking well now. Still nice to aerate for a bit. Plum, dark red ripe fruit. I prefer the 575 OVX but this is nice.
