Not quite built to go head-to-head with the best Napa Cabs, but incredible value for <$100 and I expect the still present oak should be fully integrated in another year or 2. Fantastic purity of dark red fruit, rooting for the light acidity to hang in for a while.

Dark fruit, graphite, relaxed tannins and lovely balance. Gave it 2-3 hrs of air and delicious.

Decanted two hours. Dark and opaque colour. Very nice nose of black currant, cedar, licorice and very oaky. The palate is powerful, oak and dark fruit dominate, found very little freshness, finesse and elegance to balance out the power at this stage, seems too young or disjointed. 89-90 for the potential maybe

Carafé deux heures, couleur foncée et opaque. Beau nez assez typé de cèdre, cassis mais avec une dominance du bois. La bouche est puissante et tannique, dominée par le bois et un beau fruit noir mais peu de fraîcheur, finesse ou élégance pour contre balancer cette puissance non contenue. Trop jeune ou un autre gros Cab Californien sur-évalué?
