Nose
It has a complex nose of blueberry, black olive and tarragon.
Palate
This wine has a compelling attack of berry fruit and baking spices, a full mid-palate, excellent length and a slight grip on the finish. Enjoy now through 2018. May need decanting due to light sediment.
Appearance
The 1985 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a ruby-red color with a brick edge.
