I opened a bottle of this a few years and liked it much more than this bottle. Notes of dark cherry, leather and a lot of wood. A bit too fruity for a high end cab though. Low acidity with high tannins. Needs to sit longer.

This is a dry red wine. Deep ruby color, medium intensity nose with dark black berries, graphite pencil shavings, and a hint of clove. Similar on the palate with excellent balance. Medium plus acidity with firm but sweet tannin. Medium plus body buoyed by 15% alcohol. This is an outstanding wine.

Surprised how good this was. Very well made, fruit forward wine, lots of red and dark fruits, vanilla cupcake, cardamom and cloves. Silky smooth on palate, plenty of strength with a nice finish. Cheers

Bold and young, I think I should have waited on this one because it has a lot of time left. Aerated and decanted for about 40 minutes and then we drank it over the course of three hours; it stayed pretty consistent and didn't change over course of the night. Very compact, lots of darker berries, chocolate and possibly some tea notes. All in all, a really delicious bottle--going to buy a couple more.

Delightful. 1 hour to open up. Once open notes of chocolate and a rich and complex finish were the highlight. Blackberry and cassis in the nose, full bodied and deep purple.

Rodney Strong does it again with a single vineyard Cab. Blackberry and cassis with a touch of earthiness notes. Tasting these continue with the cassis dominating. Great finish. This is very early for this wine - hold for many years. The 90 rating will go up with time.

Really enjoyed this cab very expressive black fruit, vanilla , oak. With low acidity and medium tannins it’s not super conplex but drinks really well.

A nice fruity wine that shows tons of red fruit. I like this wine with food that has some BBQ flavors. Cheers
