This was a fantastic wine. We drank this with home made hamburgers on the grill and it was fantastic. The wine pours a very dark almost purple color. No real signs of age on the rim. The nose is very pleasant with lots of dark fruit, still felt very primary on the nose. It did have a bit of alcohol bite on the nose that took away a bit from the experience. The palate was medium to full bodied, lots of dark fruit on the palate, long good finish. The only downside on was the bite on the palate from the alcohol. Overall a really enjoyable wine - probably in its prime drinking window. (387 views)

Served with ribs and the richness and black fruit of the wine complemented the dish.

Lots of depth and layers of flavor. Black and red fruit, coffee and a finish of dark chocolate (1805 views)

Deep purple color still at 8 years and lots of blue fruit. Tannins have settled but still could use a little more smoothing. Vanilla and other oak signatures notable. There is a quality and refinement signature (hard to describe) that is evident on the nose and initial palate, and the finish is long. This is a good or very good wine, but not special, and probably not worth $60+. Enjoyed but hard to justify cost. Good enough that I’ll check other vintages to confirm, though. (2143 views)

Big, bold, rich and round. Layers of red fruit with hints of blackberry with oak notes. Tannic backbone supporting a silky smooth finish. Superb! (1508 views)

Not the punch of Cali Cabs but nice expression of the Italian/US collaboration, although maybe a dichotomy to some. Earthy tones and fruit - pleasant wine. (1879 views)

Massive fruit bomb. Disjointed, hot and sweet. Might down in 10+ years but right now, not in a great place. (2467 views)

I think this is overrated. Good solid WA cab, but, not up there with so many others in the state from this vintage. Lacks the "wow" factor. Perhaps a few more years will change that, but, I don't think so. Drink now. (2620 views)
