Big and bold. Taste great with a piece of New York Steak.

My favorite N&N wine, hands down. Oak nose with mature blackberry. But the neatest thing about this: the nose has THE true expression of Oakville dirt. Got to smell the dirt at Paradigm and the nose of this wine ALWAYS takes me back to Oakville. Sweeter, dense blackberry fruit with a hint of vanilla and almost a purple note. Middle expresses the notes of the Oakville dirt. Lavender. Finished with nice, expressive notes of Oaked blackberry and POWER. For the heat they take among some winos, the one thing that cannot be denied is that they make consistently very good wine.

Very good. A bit more cherry than what I typically like.

Black cherry and pepper on the nose and pallet, good use of oak, not as tannic and I would wanted from a cab from this region. Overall was decent but wouldn't buy again
