Big Blackberry fruit bomb still with pepper. Some dried deep fruit resonates within the nose. Theres a roasted pine nut background here. Pulling from the cellar and love the look back on this bottle. Enjoyed it!

Outstanding cabernet, wonderful nose, excellent palate and finish. Balanced and smooth as previous raters noted. Tannins are all gone and just the delicious fruit remains. Really wonderful bottle that I had low expectations for. Highly recommended and exceptional QPR for what I paid.

Great wine. I bought this at the winery after trying it. almost a year later it taste just like I remember. Dark purple. Lots of fruit up front after popping and even after an hour decanting it was still strong. The taste was balanced that had a medium finish. I am not a pro taster so i could be totally wrong but I am not sure how long the fruit will last as the tannins are pretty soft now. maybe another year or two on this one

Disclaimer: We are new to writing wine notes. This was a good wine for 2003 vintage. Expect it to get even better with age. Cherries on the nose and palate.

Very impressive wine. Opened up beautifully after about an hour of decanting. Fantastic aromas and flavors. Sweet, balanced tannins and a long finish. Would love to have a few more bottles.

Huge nose of blackberry, cassis, toasty oak. The wine is big, but smooth with a long finish. Needs a some time to open up, but very delicious.

Fruit forward with long finish; mellow tannins; still takes at least 1 hour to open up. Very balanced on the palate.

Soft nose - some earth, depth; More interest than Honig's standard cab; Minerality; Could use more fruit; 4-11-15-7
