- Raspberry jam on the nose -- black fruit palate. It's quite tight and could use a few more years to mature fully. Leathery finish.

Soft, supple wine with good tannins. Aromas (and taste) of caramel, spice with black fruit and current.
Note: I seem to get a lot of caramel / spice from Duckhorn wines.

- Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot A classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, this elegantly balanced wine combines generous fruit-forward structure with age-worthy tannins and a long, satisfying finish. From its layered aromatics to its lush palate of flavors, this wine brings together an array of red and black fruit elements, including red currant, baked plum, blackberry and sweet black cherry. Adding further depth to this core of ripe fruit are notes of vanilla, molasses, allspice, fresh herbs and black olive.

- Still tight, but some nice structure. Leather and cedar box, oak and blackberries. Very firm drying tannins on the finish.
