Pyrazines and piney cherries thread the nose on this delightful bottle. Full licorice and unripe blackberry mouth. Not as complex over the palate as I would hope, but still a decent steak wine on a ground round budget. Strong tannins build quickly and succinctly finish. Better balance and complexity than their single variety cab.

Disjointed. Acids and tannins seem to take over without the fruit giving enough ripeness to balance.

Nice dark fruit. Cassis and pencil lead. Delicate tannin. Good pronounced finish.

A delicious mix of Napa leftovers, this wine could pass for a claret, with full bodied mocha tones.
