Big mouth, fruit feels a touch over ripe for my taste, no cassis left, just prune, date, and plum. A touch over worked and over extracted. #megapurple?

Soft fruit, bitter cherry notes, very well-integrated tannins, a tad high on alcohol

The maiden vintage...2013. Brandon is a savvy young winemaker and could really make some excellent wines in due course. A pleasure to taste the inaugural release

Smooth and easy. Very single dimensional and not really match the expectations on some of the other Napa 2013 releases with same price point. Yep... this one is young but I do not expect this to add too much complexity during coming years.
