This continues to be one of my go to wines for reasonably priced Napa reds. It is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon with the rest made up of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Deep garnet in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has cassis, baking spices, slight oak, and a bit of leather. Medium to full bodied. On the palate, there is nice cassis fruit with underlying earthiness. Medium finish. This should continue to drink well for the next eight to twelve years. It drinks well on its own and would be a nice match with roasts.
