Ruby. Flagship. Aromatic jammy nose, with hints of mint. Black and red fruit. With some menthols d herbaceous notes peppered throughout. Will hold up over time. A very nice experience.

Second time tasting this one. Either a much better bottle or has been served well by its time in bottle. Medium-full with nice raspberry fruit and a fairly quick finish.

Lush rich dark fruit flavors. Big grippy tannin. This is a powerful big boy.

Slightly disjointed. Not great integration of fruit and tannin, esp w/this price.

Luscious but firm structure, good bright acidity. Fresh, balanced and supremely classy

Right in the zone. Sturdy; splendid dark berries. Structure out the ting- yang. Nigh onto endless. Fab Napa can for this style. Or any style.

Full body full of dark berries, hints of vanilla and dark chocolate. An Oakville classic.
