This is a big beautiful monster. Exactly what you want out of an aged Napa wine. Viscous cherry, strawberry, chocolate syrup.

This wine paired with chocolate is delicious. Softens the tannins and enhances the flavor.

Still very young but elegance is the word that comes to mind well integrated oak and lingers on the palate. An all around stunning wine.

Still quite young. Firm tannins, great acidity, blue and black fruits, tobacco and loamy. Good birthday wine.
