June 2, 2018 - Poured with a medium garnet coloring, not bricking on the rim. Lots of black fruit, some cassis with just a hint of mature cab chocolate and leather. Tannins have dropped away for a very smooth drinking wine. Age worked wonders in this instance!

March 25, 2013 - Good not great.
Light smooth tannins, light body, but lacking the Cab essence and heft one expects from the varietal. Beckmen does some nice well priced cabs, this unfortunately fell short of the mark. Previous experiences led me to expect more as 2002 is a delicious Beckmen Cab. -
