Overly-oaked, disjointed and hot. I feel like this wine was all over the place; big black fruits, heavy vanilla on the nose- very sweet smelling. Pie crust, sticky black fruits, green oak, and vanilla on the tongue. Drank over two nights, on the third, the wine ended up in the stew.

Want to make it work but it goes all gooey and oaky and hot. So disappointed. After 2 hours and chilling it down it became drinkable. Sor surprised as I figured any oak treatment would mellow out after 8 years.

A very good cab, good enough to rival many of the big boys in Napa. Beautiful nose and elegant mouthfeel and loaded with fruit. Touch of herbs and vanilla as well. Well balanced wine.

Best Cab I have had from Paso Robles. Dark berry and cheery fruit with nice backbone to keep it fresh.

Delicious wine. Elegantly structured, wonderfully balanced and flavorful with a lovely dark chocolate tone at the finish.
