Low neck fill. Deep garnet color in glass with some browning. Nice bouquet with heat (14.6%) evident. Heaps of fruit on palate, the typical California fruit bomb. Just starting to oxidize. Perhaps a little one dimensional as many fruit bombs are. A heavyweight nevertheless. Thick sediment inside bottle. Drink up!

Nose not remarkable. Palette had strong unremarkable tendency. Not an impressive bottle. Only have one and won't finish.

A great cab from a long line of great cabs from Mettler. Perfect drinking now. I'm looking forward to the other 3 from 2006 in my cellar.

Not well integrated. Probably needs about 2-3 more years.
