This bottle has big blackberry fruit with spice including cinnamon notes . Low tannins and a citrus tartness are evident along with a long finish. Very pleasant wine but not memorable.

Disappointed So many excellent reviews. No flaws, but no great depth Decent fruit. Got at reduced cost. Would not repeat. No aging needed. Second bottle. Similar notes, tannins more evident, nose subdued seared prime NY steak, s&p. Deteriorating.

An excellent example of a refined, impressive Sonoma County Cabernet. As with many Sonoma cabs, red fruits retain the upper hand over the dark. Cherry cola, raspberry and milk chocolate come to the fore in a lively offering that stimulates the palate. There's a lot of life to this wine - and freshness too. It has a way to go, but already has a lot to offer. Drink now or hold.
