The only 2016 presented the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley spent 16-18 months in American oak and reveals a saturated purple color as well as a ripe sexy style in its blackberry plums vanilla bean and spice-laced aromas and flavors. Loaded with fruit it still stays balanced and pure with silky tannins and a great finish. I don't think it's going to make old bones but it's a beautiful pleasure-bent beauty. 91 points. -Jeb Dunnuck

Love this cab. Glad I splurged on a half case for my collection. Nice structure. Elegant and complex. Re-tasted Memorial Day and confirmed my rating. Beautiful cab for a beautiful weekend. Takes a few hours to really bring out the flavors. Really three hours to shine.

Ecuberant nose of liquorice and boack berries. Very dark fruit driven, very Napa but not excessive. Fine tannins, length and drunk too young

Black fruit, perfumed, damp leather, rich tannin build. Ripe Napa Cab, balanced tannin and barrel component. Nicely extracted without being overblown. Plenty of life left. Decanted and it opens through numerous iterations throughout the entire evening.
