Drinking well and fully mature, although likely at peak now. Good, typical characteristics for a mountain Napa red blend, with ripe black fruit and fine tannins. However, it didn't show the level of complexity I'd expect at this price point. Was better when tasted at the winery several years ago. As such, I recommend drinking in the near future.

Came across less sweet and ripe than last bottle. Used part to cook a pot roast, went well together.

Cellared since release, perfect cork and fill. Dark red Olof, cherry, cassis, spicy oak on the nose. Full body, over-ripe candied cherry, verging on raisiny, too sweet, oaky, and ripe for my palate.

Deep red fruit on the nose, Christmas cookie spices on the palette, the wife says almond, I sensed a hint of cinnamon, unusual flavors for a big cab. One thing we agreed on was some big tannins, this wine finishes nicely and should cellar well for another ten years.

Deep purple. Decanted for 2 hours ... Could have opened for another 4 hours or so. Very aromatic with a deep purple appearance. She could rest for another 10+ years.
