Maybe just past it’s prime, decanted for 2 hrs and showed well. Heavy cedar and pencil shavings. Blue and heavy dried black fruit. Very nice with Hunters Stew.

Lovely taste with a rustic sort of feel. Has a solid Bordeaux feel to it. This vintage is ready to drink and I’d probably enjoy it sooner rather then later.

Beautifully elegant: oak meshes well with the fruits, acidity and tannin. Well made

Raisiny, Dark berries. Tannins just right. Rich but yet smooth.

Excellent. Not super complex though. Balanced. Will drink again.

I've had this a few times...deep ripe can fruit with plenty of chewy tannins, opening up but will live on well to 2020+. Cedar and coffee notes and a deep dark berry palate . Smart and sophisticated Napa.

Deep flavor. Good fruit and bite for a 2008 but has mellowed well.
