Deep purple without a hint of any other suggesting improper storage. Classic if a bit understated Napa nose. Soft yet appropriately firm tannins. Ripe black fruits. Luscious wine. Suggest drinking sooner rather than later owing to fruit ripeness. β 4 years ago

11.18. Good stuff. Paired well with the rib eye. Enjoyed the flavor and easy to drink. β 7 years ago
One of my go-tos. I love this cab. It always has a fantastic flavor, aroma, smooth body and perfect finish. And for the price, I donβt feel as guilty opening it as I do opening some of my other inglenook favorites. β 7 years ago

We had the 2013 Vintage on 5/2-3/21. This was a terrific full bodied, well balanced wine. Tastes of blackberry, plum, kirsch and vanilla on the palate. The tannins were smoothed out. A great example of the Napa floor. β 4 years ago
Really a very nice Napa Cabernet from a great vineyard site in a good drinking place age wise. On cork pop the oak was too overbearing - that sort of oaky sweetness that I donβt care for. But decanted for a couple hours as a result and quite nice after that. Deep violet in the glass. Deep dark fruit notes. Unmistakably Napa, for sure. Some glycerin feel. But a long finish with just enough acid to keep it together. I donβt often drink Napa cab, but on a fall day with burgers itβs hard to complain. β 5 years ago
YES! 2h of decant and it starts to show its potential. Will revisit year from now. β 8 years ago
Citrusy with a strong aroma of orange zest, fresh coriander and sal del mar, finishing smoothly with a palate cleansing clean high acid taste. Pairs well with salmon, sautΓ©ed mushrooms, summer evenings. β 9 years ago
Smooth night for a cab. More like a merlot. β 12 years ago

Solid. Drinking well now. See previous notes for more details, as we keep having to answer the door for Trick-or-Treaters. β 8 months ago
