Medium ruby red with dark core. Tons of black and blue fruits on the nose. Lush, and plush but why the rush? A little bit short on the finish (still medium). Some solid baking spices with moderate tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Only thing holding this back was the finish, otherwise another excellent wine.

I’ve always loved the 2003 Napa Cabernets despite vintage charts and reviews.
This wine was procured at auction dirt cheap and it’s one of the early Kelly Fleming wines - maybe 2nd vintage.
Needed airtime and oxygen. Still a lot of power and dark flavors. Fruit remains and it’s quite a solid wine. Winner in my book
