Overall, a disappointment. Typical Napa cab bouquet, but this fades into something on the palette that is simple and one-dimensional. There are no tannins to provide structure or texture. It tastes like a $15 cab.
This is one to avoid in my mind.

Extreme currant and cassis. Light and wet start deep leather and tannins on the finish

Another very nice Napa cab from St Helena. Smooth. Black cherry, a little smiley, maybe a little plum.

First time trying this one. 10 is not my favorite vintage but this was extremely balanced. This wine gained a little weight in the mid body with some air. Think it needs another 2/3 years to really shine. Birthday Dinner
