#Napa Cab blend (small amounts). Nose of strawberry, currant and vanilla. Palate of red berries and black cherries. Good balance. Drink soon.

Starts off with lots of power. Softens a bit once it airs out. Very good!

Not a strong nose but a pleasant one of vanilla and tobacco. High acidity but it carries itself well. Mostly dark fruits with some cedar. After breathing for a while, you should get a bit of spice, as well. This is Napa so it's got all of that Napa-ness going for it. It's just a baby and could wait a few more years, but it's still worth opening now.

2012 somewhat sweet. Isn't as bright and green as other young cabs. Very drinkable.

For $70 it wasn't bad. Fruity and smooth
