Same as all my other previous notes, except that I bumped this up a couple of points. It has really filled out since last time. Solid depth and concentration; an absolutely beautiful, dark expression of Napa Cabernet.
I'm not entirely sure why you would make a Reserve version of this wine in 2014, but ok. An ever-so-slight improvement from the original version in terms of depth, but otherwise this is the same wine…
Medium-bodied and agreeable notes of black and dark red core fruit; some earth, spice, and dark chocolate to add a mediocre amount of interest. Otherwise, another fairly basic and pedestrian version…
Ok, so I seriously have to call out any used car salesman who tells me there is anything even remotely redeemable here beyond a rancid, broken soul of a core in this wine. Huge, inflammatory blasts…
