July 3, 2023 - 1.5L - The nose is excellent with dusty earth, tobacco and dark fruit. The fruit starts muted but opens up after an hour, then slowly fades. Drink now and enjoy.

May 28, 2016 - Very nice wine with a subtle cedar, spiciness complementing the ripe red fruit on the nose. Paired extremely well with grilled ribeye.

5/10/2011 (link) **** 1/2 points(Novelty Hill Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) Pleasingly aromatic with toast, spice, butterscotch, herbal notes, and red and black fruit. The palate is big and intensely flavorful. A thoroughly delicious, rich wine with a lingering finish. 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. Stillwater Creek, Alder Ridge, Weinbau and Chandler’s Reach vineyards. 14.4% alcohol. 4,846 cases produced.
