What to Expect

California's Napa Valley has been a source of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon for well over a century. Its warm climate and varied terrain allows for many styles of wine. One thread that runs through almost all the Cabernet based wines from Napa is their lush, ripe full-bodied feel and rich flavors of currant and berry. Wines from the valley floor, particularly around Rutherford, are famed for a dusty quality and those coming from the hillsides surrounding the valley, Mt. Veeder, Diamond Mountain and Howell Mountain for example, tend to be a little leaner with more obvious structural elements.

From magnum. Just awesome on the nose with deep olivy fruit, smoky chipotle notes and layers of earth, leather, ash and herb that kept evolving. In the mouth this was round and perfectly mature with all the subtle spices and herb of the nose appearing on the velvetty palate. The tannins have mostly melted away leaving a broad palate impression well supported by the wines integrated acidity. I loved this. A great bottle. 95pts

Well balanced, deep blackberry flavors. Warm, soft tannins, nice and oaky with big black fruit flavors and a bit of leather. Drinking beautifully right now.

From magnum. Aging well, although there's a hollowness in the mid palette as the fruit fades. However, whats left is very nice - dusty tannins balance the remaining red fruit and you're left with a very enjoyable, persistent balanced wine.
