Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2010-2017, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2010

Blackish ruby. Some evolution on the nose. Very warm and sweet and round. Thick and enveloping like a heatwave afternoon. Again, like the Cain Five 2006 above, the tannins are on the defiant side for Napa Valley. A strong statement! And all the better for it. At least it has personality... a bit lusher than the 2006. Blind guess: mountain. Revealed location: mountain. (JR)
