Terrific purity in this quintessential Napa Cab. Decanted for about 2 hrs. Dark red and blue fruit, currant, mint and fresh flowers. Powerful yet elegant. Mr Carpenter made something special at a reasonable price point. — 11 years ago

Tasted 2005 - photo is of different tasting. Tasting notes 2005: Absolutely to die for. Perfect tannic structure, ripe and round
