A delicious 2011! Berry fruit with some gravel and a touch of cigar ash.

Another delicious 2011. Ripe dark cherry/berry fruit, structured while still being giving, long seamless finish.

Dark color. Strong leathery notes on the nose. Very big, bold, and well balanced. Delicious.

A fantastic, more elegant styled Napa Cab. Gorgeous aromas of plum, leather, spice and oak. Soft, luxurious palate of black fruits, spice, mocha and earth with soft tannins and incredibly smooth smooth acidity. Beautiful steakhouse wine that just enhances everything without overpowering anything.
