2nd day notes. Deep garnet to purple. Nose of blackberries and cedar. Taste is similar with some cinnamon and pepper spices. Earthy. Nice balance of medium tannins and acidity. Medium plus body. Good QPR. About 91.

90 min decant. Tobacco, date, black cherry and subtle vanilla on the rich nose. Smooth, dry palate that is a bit flaccid. The acidity is very delayed/diffuse. Subtle tannins on the medium short finish. This wine is nice, but lacks some structure. It starts with a great nose and then drops off a cliff.

Big cab with 10% Petite Verdot. Green peppers, forest floor, jammy red fruit, some oak. Moderate length. Can age but not sure it would add much. Fairly generic, could be from anywhere.

Solid big Cali Cab - no details from last night, but Ive had ZD Cabs a couple of times and have always found this wine to be a big, tasty and consistent if somewhat generic.

Was dark and fruity, but not spectacular.

Grill marks on the nose, some mossy aromas too. Lots of spice. Light brown sugar. 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot.
