Love this wine - because of the 2012 I bought the BTK and Martinez and this version for 14 - second time with this wine and all I can say is I am a believer - it is up there with all really good Napa cabs of late for me - decanted 2 hours
Why do I like this wine so much? Three words - big bold beautiful- the color is an amazing dark color deep purplish shamrock color - smells like grooving on Sunday afternoon with blackberry and cassis fruit - this wine hits the palate with bold serious authoritative expert pinpoint force that must be reckoned with and the taste - oh yes the taste - well - it is reason I said it is up there with the best of Napa cabs of late for me - the taste is rich concentrated with wonderful mouth filling tannins and last forever
This wine should last at least 10 years

Deep purple. I'm guessing a small percent Syrah. A little earthy. A little dark fruit. Went great with spinach mozzarella gnocchi and garlic bread.

Nice but slightly too bold and jammy for my tastes and 85 bucks.

Lots of cherry but very smooth after opening for 20 minutes.
