Ruby red color with a garnet hue. The nose confirms this is mature Napa Valley caberney and one that has aged gracefully with aromas of cassis molasses black pepper and dried herbs. The palate is smooth and medium bodied with a fair amount of acidity and mature docile tannins. The aromas are mirrored there along with currant and Asian spice which linger on the finish. A very enjoyable bottle of perfectly aged Napa cabernet that should continue to drink well for at least another 5 years.
