Intersting blend. Very fruit forward with a dry finish. Strawberry and chocolate fill the glass

Very dark tannins and more sediment than expected, but that is the richness. Enjoyed it much. Thick, fruity, rich like a caymus

I loved this wine. Decanted for only an hour and the wine continued to open as we drank. Deep rich purple color and bold texture and hints of cherry and chocolate. Last note. Would love to find another

Decanted for 3 hours. The wine has surprisingly low acidity. It smells like forest floor which quickly dispersed once poured revealing some nice fruit. The wine finishes long. The wine looks brick colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. The wine has angular texture.

Very impressive cab franc. Lots of fruit and lots of pepper. Opened up well after an hour decant and was even better next day.

Quite a bit drier and less forward fruit than expected after an hour decant. Actually opened the following night. Very. leased with this cab franc

Raspberry jam. So good

This wine was surprisingly good. Not as jammy as some other old vine fruit and nicely balanced fruit. Really enjoyed this with a steak.

Small production with most grapes sold to Caymus. Wine is very drinkable with lots of forward fruit. Firm tannins with black cherry and some vanilla This will get better with age if I can wait.

Very smooth and forward fruit. Was much better after sitting uncorked for an hour. Cherry and blackberries

Surprisingly medium bodied for a zin. Strawberries and spice right out of the bottle.

I love this wine. Excellent fruit right out of the bottle but explodes with cherries and jam after an hour decant. Will definitely mellow with a few years - the 06 is outstanding and worth the wait

Still young but benefited from an hour decant. Lots of potential. High alcohol effects the nose and hides the fruit. High tannins also will be fit from a year or 2 more in the bottle

Passed this bottle by for too many years. Opened and decanted it for over an hour... This wine had past its prime long ago. Sad.

A little young but really opened after being decanted for an hour. More fruit than I expected from a merlot but very enjoyable. Will do we'll to age an other year or two

This wine was disappointing. No body no fruit just very average.

Very young but I couldn't resist opening a bottle. This wine is so full of fruits it is just a year or so from showing its potential. Be patient.

I love this wine. Reverie is great small producer and their cab franc I'd outstanding. Low tannins and lots of fruit. Big nose for a cab franc that hits you as soon as you open the bottle. Decant for an hour and enjoy. Should get better with age

If butter is your thing this wine is not for you. A little acidic but balanced. Some fruit some cinnamon . Other cards I like better for the price.

This wine was a little disappointing. Low on fruit and depth. I am hoping it will improve over time.

5/5/2012 - Mannm24 wrote:

Wine is still a bit young but opening a least 30 minutes and a decanter will serve it well. The fruit is still developing but will be outstanding in a year or 2.

3 bottles of this wine in my cellar. I remember enjoying it when it was young but have been disappointed with silverado cabs of the mid 2000's so I kept passing this wine by. Having reached the end of their storage life I decided to open on last night. Wow. I decanted for an hour and it really opened up. Dark cherries still there with some chocolate and lots of oak. Just sorry it was salad and meatball pizza night....next time it will be a nice steak. Not sure if it will last another year or two so i will enjoy it now.

This wine was very enjoyable. Full of dark fruit with very light tannins. blueberries and a hint of cedar.

Not as much fruit as in previous years and finish is a bit dry. Still solid and enjoyable cab that is still young. Try again in a year or 2.

I clearly waited too long to find this in the bottom of my cellar. Past it's prime but surprisingly still drinkable. Fruit is almost gone and a bit dry with little finish.
