Sep 10th, 2015Wasn't as impressed as the price point. None the less, three days later it opened up into a beautiful Cab Franc. Juice, slightly herbaceous with a whisper of eucalyptus.

Jul 24th, 2015PnP. Lovely purple color. Nose and wine were restrained and toned down. Classic Napa sweetness with touches of oak. Needs a decant. Got more expressive with air and a larger wine glass.

Jun 21st, 20241hr+ decant and needed much more as my last glass was the best. Red/Purple color. Chewy wine. Blue and black fruit on the nose with a hint of tobacco. Classic Napa sweetness on the palate with ample fruit and integrated oak. Medium plus finish. Quite lovely!

Sep 29th, 2016Tannins have softened considerably and still a pretty concentrated wine. Bright cherry intermingles with blackberry, toasted oak, and cedar. Long finish.
