Good but lacking much character. Decanted for an hour. Not sure if it was a bad bottle but disappointing considering how delicious it was at the winery.

Balanced and elegant. Very Bordeaux like and missing most of what identifies as a Napa cab. Beautiful wine that needed some time to open up.

2007 Stanton Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

Oakville more

This wine is drinking very well although I wouldn't expect it to continue improving. Tannins are well integrated and it is very smooth. Nose is fairly 1 dimensional fruit. It's very pleasant but not as complex as I was hoping at this price point.

Delicious and very big. 3 hour decant and tannins will still pack a punch. Nose had prominent notes of cherry and eucalyptus. Very nice napa cab.

Seemed a little shut down to me. Very tannic even after 2 hour decant. Seemed very chalky and lacking in fruit but showed promise. Just not ready and ill leave for another 2 years.

Not as good as I remember. Fruit is still nice. Tannins are integrating but still need time. Some menthol. Wi be interesting to see what happens next.

Not as good as previous notes I've made. Not much fruit on the first day, pretty acidic (somewhat unpleasant). It improved on day 2 but was never anywhere near as good as it was last year.
