Private Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Youthful for its age, the fruit is bright but earthy on the finish. Excellent!

Earth and mineral aromas with dark berry and bitter chocolate...rich fruit with bold flavors- a full mouthfeel with strong but balanced tannin structure. 94pts RP

From dad during a visit in late 00’s, in my wine loving infancy. Managed to sit on it, curious to see what would happen. Opened with dad last night to celebrate. Dark purple. Stewed fruits, cigar box, faint cocoa. Bordeaux-esque. Mellowed nicely with age.

Steak Night!!! This wine rocked from the moment poured from the decanter. Didn’t need much airtime to be very expressive and provide great fruit and depth. Held up well and was better than Caymus SS ‘06. Not even close

Apr 25th, 2021Delicious! Big blue ripe fruit, acidic with a long finish. Drink now and it’s in a great place.

Had this along side the 2005 and the '04 was noticeably weaker. More like a medium body Bordeaux and a big Napa can. That being said it was still great just got a bit overpowered by the steak.

Signature Napa cab profile. I would say it's singing right now and still has a few really good years to it. Fruit is still full and voluptuous. Dark fruits, black cherry plum. Some really nice earth tobacco spice. Lingering finish. So good
