All about cherries! Decanted two hours. Great balance and minimal acid. Wish I had another...

We were worried this had been sitting too long in the cellar - No Way! It was an absolute delight from start to finish. Very smooth, fully integrated tannins, velvety like a french pomerol and a very french aroma, never would have guessed it was from Napa. Loved every pour.

A good wine but now worth holding on for so long. It had still some good signs of fruits but was muddled on the palette with some dull woody notes. I wouldn't necessarily use this to make syrup but I wasn't overly impressed.

Still has good life. Mature, refined taste. Drink now.

Very nice with brambly fruit and some cedar. The tannins are well integrated and the fruit- rapsberry, cherry and currant are displayed nicely.

Excellent for easy drinking. Thin but fruity, some spicy licorice, more like a pinot than merlot. Good value but not as good as the Cab.

Sweet and sour fruit with traditional jammy notes of plum, raspberry and black current buffered by high acidity, some cedar tones but no to heavy, just starting to shed its youthfulness
