This is a Cab made especially for Flaming's Steak House. It is solid if a bit generic. Purple/ruby in color. The nose is dusty with cherries and some cassis. On the palate, this drinks easy. Light tannins. Not a lot of complexity. Cassis fruit. Slight earth.
Another gorgeous California Cabernet. They are blessed in Napa. This one is drinking very well right now. Cassis, pencil lead and cedar on the nose. With air a slight cigar box emerges. On the palate, this is ripe but not over ripe. A classic example of Napa without being too far to the extreme. Cassis with some tobacco and fresh turned earth. Nice balance. The layers unwind in the glass; cassis, tobacco and cedar. Medium tannins still. This will certainly mature more over the next five years. Not sure it gets better. No hurry though, this has a decade left and likely more. It
