July 19, 2021 - The fruit is still remarkably fresh, bright, sweet and pure. There is length, balance, freshness and all the red fruits you find on the nose, manage to remain with you on the palate and in the finish. This tasted 20 years younger than its true age. Good luck finding a bottle, but if you do, grab it as it shows California Cabernet history at its best.
