Trying some 2017 Napa cabs lately. This is another really good one for a tough year. Lots of life left year. Still a bit tight on open, but 30 minutes later drinking well. BlackBerry, cassis, graphite, black licorice, plum, wet stone. Lovely wine. Surprised by how good some of these 17s are aging. Excited to try them again in a few years.
