Opened last night and finished today. Still has some life, but on the decline. Expressive nose. Medium finish. Still probably has a couple years left, but would recommend drinking up.

Last of two bottles -- wish I'd bought a case. Like last time, lots of sediment, but also lots and lots of complex flavors and mostly integrated tannins. At $20, this is is the best wine deal I ever got at K&L.

- Purple color with medium forming legs and aromas of raspberry, blackberry and oak. It's balanced and has flavours of oak, black currant and dusty with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a medium finish.

Again, an excellent napa cab. Drank with Korean bbq. Unable to decant and was so-so for the first hour, and then blossomed into a well balanced wine with a long finish. I would strongly recommend a 1+ hour decant to get the most out of this wine. An incredible value for $20

Decanted for 30 minutes. WOTN among friends. Classic napa cab nose / palate. Tannins and fruit are well integrated. Drinking well now but has many years left. This should improve and gain complexity with some age.

decanted for 1 hour. Strong tannins still present. Purple color. Oak and blackberry on nose. Cherry, plum, and cassis on palate. Drank with steak. Recommend decant (sediment in bottle). Years left of aging. Great wine but I hope it develops more complexity with age. Lots of potential - I bought 6 more bottles..

This wine is deep and intense with layers of dark fruit and light spice. On the nose, a touch of toasty oak black cherry, and the mid palate is full and lushous, with a touch of eucalyptus and fresh herbs. Dense and full bodied, this wine has weight and good length on the finish.
