"Dark red cherry plum spice wild flowers and mint jump from the glass in the 2010 Napanook. Layered and totally sensual the 2010 impresses for its balance. With time in the glass the wine blossoms beautifully filling out its frame with impeccable grace. Beams of minerality and acidity support the powerful salivating finish. The 2010 Napanook is one of the wines of the vintage in its price range. The 2010 is 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot. The absence of Cabernet Franc and Merlot gives the 2010 much of its unique compelling personality."
v"The 2010 Napanook (98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot) reveals a pungent spicy earthy slightly herbal nose and an exuberant mouthfeel with lots of plum licorice red and black currants and a hint of sweet cherries. The wine is slightly more in-your-face and aggressive than most Napanooks but I enjoyed its exuberant style.."
