This resembles a Pauillac more than a Napa cab sav. The nose is currant berries, truffles, soy sauce and chard cedar wood. Palate has black cherry and smokey tobacco notes with a long smoke filled finish with burn ember notes

I was lucky enough today to try 2 vintages of this lovely wine. The 2006 and 2010. The 2006 is just coming into its own. Still a lot of oak on the palate with some bigger tannins and a finish for days. 2010 is still tight, but after being open all day it emerged from its shell a bit. I'm having the last glass from the bottle now, and it has taken on the character of a wine from Piedmont. Earthy, maybe even a little barnyard funk, dried cranberry. So thankful the host of this party I catered not only let me try it, but gave me the remainder to take home. Happy Thanksgiving!
