What reviewers say
“I do love my Napa Cabs and this one is no different. Very typical nose and palate. Great producer and if this is the 2nd wine, then I can only wonder how good Dominus is. Reddish purple colour. Nose is punchy…dark fruit hits one up front.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

Summary
It dark crimson in color, with a fragrant, rich nose full of blackberries and dark forest fruits. The aroma slowly reveals subtle notes of smoky sandalwood, chocolate, and sweet almonds. The entry on the palate is round, but firm; precise and enveloping. Well-balanced tannins open throughout the evolution, and linger on the finish with cherries, cedar and cacao.
