March 26, 2012 - Very smooth, almost no tannin at all. Extremely drinkable, fruit forward with notes of warm butter and vanilla.

January 28, 2011 - Nose of black fruit. For the tiny amount of Syrah in this, it really shines through. Balanced and quite tasty, but not very complex and finish is barely medium in length.

October 3, 2009 - Cabernet Finale (Wine Exchange. Orange, CA): Drank as part of a Cab Sauv tasting and it had been decanted for several hours. Flat nose with a bit of black pepper. Creamy on the palate with vanilla and warm spices. Seemed to have a soft mouth feel. Medium tannins and length of about 20 seconds. Not complex or nuanced.
