Big and oaky. Dark fruit flavored of blackberry and cassis. Still under $100!

Wasn'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.

PnP. 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.

1hr+ 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!

Classic Oakville. Wound tight still, but not brooding or unforgiving. Lay it down. #swc

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