13.3% alcohol! Snapshot of Napa's past. Thirty years old with a great, albeit faded, structure.

One of the greatest Cali Cabs I have ever had. Plenty of power, exquisite poise and texture and a near endless finish. Fabulous with Kyles lamb 2 ways and Sean's duck confit risotto!

Drinks more like old BDX than aged Napa. Soft as silk with an ample but not unpleasant helping of bret.
Pair with getting into a heated discussion with your right wing nut of a father who, when asked him to back up his assertion about “absurdly high public sector salaries” 🙄 with facts, responds with a personal attack.
