Sunday, November 4, 2012 - Splash decanted right before dinner. A 30 - 60 minute decant might have been better, as this opened up over dinner and last glass was the best. Very dark color. Nice, complex nose of chocolate covered cherries. Rich and smooth. Powerful. noticeable alcohol. I think this might be a touch better than the 2002. Drinking well now but will last for years.

This is a great example of a Cali cab blend, one of my favorites. I wouldn't want to drink wines of this style very often, but with a nice steak this is a fine choice.
