For once I listened to my own advice and let this one rest for a good amount of time in the cellar. I last had this in 2010 and suggested patience was needed. The fierce tannins that were present in 2010 have mellowed and are all but absent. Still very youthful in appearance. Blackberry and anise dominate with hints of dark chocolate and forest floor. Finish is long and pleasing. Guess that this will in a great spot for a few more years although I don't think that it will necessarily get much better. I have 1 more that I am saving for a Vertical tasting of Frazier Estate Cabernet

Frazier Cab continues to be a big, bold wine with berries on the nose and chocolate and blackberry in the glass. It's a heavy wine meant to be consumed with a great meal. 2006 was no exception - great with duck.

Not bad, but not special. There are better values for the money.

Need to wait on this one a few years. Decent dark fruit in the background but the tannis predominate at this time.

Had with Grilled Filet. Typical Cali cab nose. Tannic with a nice background of dark fruit. A nice wine but a poor QTPR at $54 per
