This is 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot. Inky purple, opaque and bright. The nose is nice with cassis, spice and slight tobacco. Medium bodied. Light tannins. On the palate, nice cassis flavors. Clean. Not a lot of depth or complexity especially compared to the 2015 version of this wine. Still, nice solid, easy drinking. Drink over the next five to seven years. A nice wine with sausage pizza.

This was an outstanding Napa Cabernet. It might be hard to find, but this bottle was purchased recently for $53 and it's a shame we didn't buy more. Deep purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is classic with cassis, slight blueberries, dust and cedar. On the palate, this has silky tannins. It is young but delicious. Cassis fruit mostly but some blueberries. Nice ripeness without being over the top. Good balance. This should continue to get better over the next five to seven years and be good for at least a decade after that. It will need bigger and heavier foods or drink on
