Wow. Been waiting to break this out for awhile and it did not disappoint. Silky smooth tannins, great fruit and structure.

Dark rich berries, graphite, mocha, cedar. Tannins are powerful but soften with air. Med-long finish. Excellent and will continue to improve for years.

Once again, black cherry, some earthy notes, great oak finish, my last bottle of the 2007

Decanted for 30 min and drank over 90. Longer finish than the 2012 rattlesnake, but less body. Beautiful nose and multilayered

Oh Rattlesnake how I love you! The most unique "cotton candy" element I've had in dark brooding Napa mountain Cab. What a view from your picnic table too!
