Sept. 2023. Perfect at 5 years. Rich, dense, opulent, and elegant. Layered with drying tannins for complexity.

Another outstanding vintage of this great value Napa Cab. Huge and heavy bottle. Dark ruby color. Nose is full of blue/blackberry and dark plum fruit with hints of dried herbs, roasted nuts, crushed stones along with a well integrated oaky component. Same fruit flavors on the silky pallet. Long and juicy finish. Dense and full bodied. Nicely concentrated with beautifully balanced acidity. Well made. Revisited again in March 2023. Getting better with age.

Balanced and smooth. I love it because it’s not a bold fruit bomb.
Refined and delicious.

Relatively friendly and approachable Napa cab. Ripe red cherries and raspberries pair nicely with a big oaky vanilla, and there’s just enough tannin + leather to lend some heft.

Has a nice jammy fragrance of berries and oak.
Drinks well with a big mouth feel, with juicy fruit flavors and nice tannins. Finishes smoothly.
