Their Cabernet fruits are nice, ripe and pretty. They should be cellared 10 years before opening one.
Again, the M+ tannin profile along with their level new wood use is extremely dominant and primary young. This was astringent and felt like I had sucked on a wood plank.
The fruits & florals beautiful. Better things lie ahead for this with cellaring. 93-96 in 10-15 years.
Having had many Napa 21’s at this point, this didn’t live up to the balance & softer styles of others I had young.
