Love! New world cab done with a flash and a bang. Glossy mouthfeel, deep black fruit on the mid palate and a sweet oak finish. I could cocktail on this wine for days. Big, rich and round without being over the top.

Wow. Lovely wine. Dark fruit on the nose and this awesome velvety Caremel palate with a rich finish. Wish I was more thorough and better at describing this.

I love the oak integration in this wine it's well done while still letting all that plummy goodness come through on the nose. I also find that jelly doughnut felling on the palette. I do think it will be better with another year of age. I will revisit this wine next year

well made for typical Napa style, jammy with oak coming through, occasionally some olive type tobacco savory nose. Full bodied with alcohol showing a little but balanced mostly with acidity. Structured wine, with chewy tannins - not exactly my style as the oak I think is too obvious. Needs a lot of air, But it's also a young wine.
