Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
A blend of 82% Cab Sauv, 7% Merlot, 4% Petite Verdot, & 7% Cab Franc, aged about 18 months in 65% new French oak. Deep Ruby with aromas of black and blue fruits with burnt spicy notes. On the palate flavors of blueberry and blackberry with cedar and vanilla spice. Warming dry tannins, burnt oak, cacao and leather on the medium+ finish. Nice one, but pricy at $50. A Better price point should be $30-$35. Others at $50 better. Tasting Sample.

The label states Napa County. Not sure if it is the same bottling as from the previous vintages from Napa Valley. And I have seen couple producers change the AVA from Napa Valley to Napa County lately.
Rich. Stewed dark fruits dominate. Might improve over time. A bit over extracted for my taste.
