1hour decant(some chunky/fine sediment). A striking still dark magenta color with little bricking. On the nose: Inviting notes of sweet red/blue fruit, smoked meat, floral, worn leather, nutmeg, wet forest floor. Taste: velvety, smooth, elegant, savory mature wine with dried cherries, cocoa, leather, scorched earth, and a minerally mocha long lingering finish. YUM!! — 5 months ago

Could be a 9.2 but I had it at a steakhouse and the Cali Cab - Filet combo makes all’s those wines taste better. Even without the 2+2=5 taste combo was still smooth, darkly fruited, and great. — 10 months ago

Very nice after a 2 hour decant which allowed alcohol heat to blow off and everything to come together. Continued to evolve in glass. Dark fruits, cedar, gravel, nice brightness. Dinner with Blanches at Il Barone. 11/28/20 — 5 years ago

Nice Napa Cabernet Franc, but definitely would not have guessed Cab Franc at least from the old world comparison situation. Quite dark garnet, tons of dark fruit but very fruit forward. A touch jammy. Slightly hot on the finish. — 7 years ago

Nose is faint, fully resolving into the body. Body is soft and supple but wonderful experience on the palate with medium finish. Great wine. Tannins are still there, but holding the body with gossamer gloves. — 7 months ago

9.2

Fragrance of black cherry and spice. Carries over to the palate. Smooth at 8 years old though not overly complex. What you would expect of a fine Napa Cab in this timeframe. September 2025 — 9 months ago

9.1

Rich aroma, then big flavors from the start with dark cherries, chocolate, currants, followed by anise,fig, and almond. Next comes smoky tannins hanging on to the very end. — 4 years ago
