This 2017 is one of the best 2017 Napa Cabs I have tasted. Lovely floral (violets) and delicately perfumed fruit. High ripe tannins. Medium(+) body and finish. The 2016 was strange, showing VA, varnish, lactic notes, and high alcohol on the palate and nose. 2015 and 2017 are outstanding but 2016 not so much.

Curiously medium body even though the color is deep. On the nose and palate, chocolate, terra-cotta earth and meaty. #cabernertsauvignon #napaterroirisreal
