As smooth as the 2013. A home run for Phinney.

Tried upon opening and it was beautiful. Decanted a couple hours and it rivals some of the best glasses we’ve ever had. We drink and we know things.

Shocked to see the price on this. Was gonna rate it 94 until I saw the price. This wine is good no doubt. Lots of youthful black fruit on the front. Peppery throughout. Nice dark middle with some black licorice and a sweet black fruit and chalky youthful finish. I think tannins restrict this wine a bit. Probably would benefit most from 2 or 3 more years in the cellar. For the price, there is nothing unique that makes this wine stand out.

Fresh from a 6 hour flight and 3 hour time change so I forgot to get a better picture of the label. Beautiful Napa Cab- everything it should be. We were blown away the minute the aroma hits the nose. I had to ask for a second sip. @Ryan Keith

Slight cola aroma. Hints of allspice and plums
