Yes, this a very young Napa Cabernet, "The Rocks" from Rockledge 2013 ,but with a case and this the first bottle, I had to find out what was in store. Very approachable now with 4 hrs. of decant, this wine was all about black currant, sweet black cherry and pipe tobacco. Over two hours during the meal it mellowed out further but was really very approachable from the git-go. I'll open a bottle every 6-8 months and enjoy the evolution! abv of 14.9% IIRC
