Wednesday, May 26, 2010 - A solid 91. This is better wine than I originally thought....here's the deal. It needs a bit of time. First day, the electric fruit is overpowering and it's out of balance in a big way. Great fruit characteristics of layers and edges of complexity...just flabby and moving from tar to blueberry/kiwi. Overnight with a vacuum pump...balance, tannins, and better acidity shows up. worth a multiple bottle buy as a good QPR to drink in a 3 year window. Very characteristic of WA state cab as it has a cherry/blueberry fruit core with nice complexity. I bet the reserve cab is nice for this vintage.
