Always dependable and almost always great! I’m happy with the way this bottle has aged.

2010 opened March 2018. Leather and toffee on the nose. Soft fruit with a little bit of pucker on the front, soft velvety tannins the rest of the way down. This wind may very possibly be a little past it's prime, but it's very drinkable!

1.5 hrs in a decanter, consumed over another 1.5 hrs. Blue fruits, smooth tannins. A great expression of the valley.

Definitely taste crushed blackberries. Bold and flavorful. Better as it airs. Can't go wrong with this wine.

Always reliable. Plum on the nose with hints of spice. Vanilla on the palate. It's good but for the price there are more exciting Cabs being produced in Napa.
