Wonderfully integrated and starting to stride. I love these structured Napa 2010's.

Inky purple in the glass. Cassis and spicy oak dominate with hints of red fruit and bell pepper. Good acidity and nice, grippy tannic structure with very long finish. 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot comprise this left bank Bordeaux style blend of Napa fruit.

My fave of night. Bright red fresh fruit. Great structure. Great mouthfeel. Felt like I personally picked the grapes.
