Forget about run-of-the-mill with this idiosyncratic second-vintage Napa Cab. Enjoyable, but also big and clumsy, with beet root as well as herbal and bramble notes in the pungent nose. A real oak express here, with heavy dill notes. Spicy black fruit and an astringency on the palate. Too much wood for my taste, but others might get into it.
