93 Points

Sunday, March 25, 2012 - Well I can't disagree the bigness and sweet notes i.e. vanilla, cocoa ... suggested in our ratings, with that said, I still like this one alot, and has gained some balance and complexity over the last couple years, its a been a few years since I rated it and its sadly my last bottle. I think its probably peaking now, maybe another year or so. Definitely a big bodied fruit forward spring mountain cab but I thought it was better balanced than meets the eye. Solid complexity and did get much better over a 3 - 4 hour drinking period and gained a bit of elegance. I did sense come tobacco hints of earthiness in the midpalate but no doubt the sweet notes stand out. For those fruit forward big cab types, this one will be enjoyable. Sticking with low 90s. -S
