   At $99 a bottle, I had expected a gorgeous Napa Cab. When I was told it would reward aging, I wondered: there were no discernible tannins. This wine may need time to come together or perhaps it’s just an overrated red. At any rate, it was all over the lot with almost none of the beguiling features I love in Napa Cabernets, like Blackberry and cassis flavors, cedar/pencil shavings or eucalyptus, and tannins that may range from soft-grained to abrasive. A medium-bodied, deeply-colored wine, this simply said The Emperor Has No Clothes. I will return to my usual passions: Phelps, Pine Ridge, Heitz or Chateau Montelena, thank you.

   Sacrificed one to the curiosity gods for consumption over two days.Day one was very fruit forward and simple, even after 3-4 hours of air at the end of the night. By day two this wine had it all. Dry fruit, touch of tobacco and licorice, cheek coating tannins, wet granite and graphite finish. Super. Please give this some time to come together, maybe 4-5 years for me.Beautiful.
