Briary reds & blacks. Finish a touch short....but all in all - solid juice. Tasted along side 2008. 2009 smoked it.

Very aromatic with red fruit-cherry and ripe strawberry. Plum. Eucalyptus, cinnamon,nutmeg, anise. Perfume and violet. M+ acid, body and tannin. Fruit forward and rich but lean on the palate. Long finish. Excellent!

Antinori makes great wines in Italy and Napa. This wine is no exception. So much finesse and depth in this structured wine. Just lovely!!

Good. Not great. Balanced. Tannins have softened. Nothing remarkable, but good.

Nice, good balance. High intensity and tannin, medium fruit, oak & acidity. Not a typical big Napa cab, more old world in style. Will probably be quite food friendly. I think it could use a few more years in the bottle

Delicious. All over mouth feel! Woody, acidic, mouthful of berry love.
