Better than the day we tasted it at the vineyard! Fantastic bottle of deep and rich Napa Cab.

Currant and boysenberry and jasmine show strong on the nose. The tannins are supple with earth and morel notes dominating the palette. The finish is chocolate raspberry, but not as long as one would hope.

One of the most vegetive tasting wines I have experienced. Green olive, green pepper, mushrooms.

Smoke and tobacco and grilled beef. Raspberry and earth. Light finish, but supple tannins.

Big body, plush plum and stone fruits, ample beautiful oak but still young. We’d lie try it in ten years.

Always love an Oakville Cab!
That rich bottom of the valley floor soil gives the fruit great depth and richness.
