Beautiful and historic. Old ownership. Wears the 14.5% alc. well. Dark cherry, cassis, eucalyptus, jalapeño, and perfectly integrated oak. Blind tasted next to ‘14 Chase-Spleen and was immediately recognized for its fruit and character. Plenty of life ahead but drinking very well with a long decant now.

First time tasting this textbook Napa Cab. Good ruby color. The nose is full of vanilla and berries. The pallet is full bodied with more red fruit, substantial acidity and strong tannings. A wine I’d like to have again and again and possibly one more time.
