Red currants, roses, a little wild fruit. Tastes of young raw fruit and raw oak. Needs a few years.

This is a typical Napa fruit bomb with a lot of oak. Very little tertiary character, it's all black fruit and sweet vanilla and a touch is cedar. Not as impressive as I had hoped. A good cab for new drinkers but if you are an old world fan give it a pass

Very primary. Oak still dominates; almost cotton candy-esque. The oak just blankets this wine. Maybe it will integrate with time, but for me, it's tough to judge.

Opaque red color. Sweet cherry, raspberry fruits. Cigar box, chocolate-vanilla swirl. Good pairing with a butter/ rosemary seared strip steak.

First time having this wine. It was wonderful! I can't wait to try the 2013 vintage.
