Opens with a beautiful sweet fruit and floral bouquet, followed by a medium-to-full bodied package of purple berries, light toast, and supple tannins. Only lacking the depth to score few points higher, it’s a delicious Napa cab that’s performing well right now.

Really a great cab. Nose of blackberries and dry cured olives. Taste of currants, plums, cocoa powder, and white pepper. Drying wash of tannins. Deelish.

Big Napa cab w some nice dark fruit forward followed by some tobacco and black pepper. All the flavors really came together and raised a level w a grilled ribeye. Nice tannin hit combined w decent acidity show this will get better.
