Lovely dark fruit on the nose and solid structure with enough acidity to go another lap or two. Nicely Oaked with cinnamon, vanilla, and new leather combo that is very enjoyable.

Solid effort with silky smooth tannins, medium AbV and slight acidity. Dark fruit and a whiff of bell pepper. Still evolving with wonderful bouquet and moderately long finish.

Really like this reasonably priced Cab. Held its own against a Spring Mountain and a Brio at the table. Perfect with a burger.

2010 spent 20 months in 40pct new French oak with no fining/filtration. If you like oaky cabs, this should fill the bill.

And now for New World. Oaky and ripe fruit, as expected, but drinking nicely. Could use some aging - still a little tight. Quality Napa Cab!

Good balance overall but a strong tannin on the ending. Might just need some more time to relax.
