The color was a nice plum purple. The nose had mint, eucalyptus, vanilla, with red and dark fruits. This wine was Oak City, USA. The tannins attacked the palatte and the wine offered very little fruit. The finish was long, but unpleasant. Not impressed.

Color was a nice burgundy with purple hints. Wow for the nose! Nice dark fruit all over the nose with abundant oak and a little chocolate. Taste had a slight bit of sweetness, good body, and nice fruit finishing with oak. Mouth coating tannins. Finish was nice and long. Best value yet for the 05 California Cabs.

Didn't seem to taste as aged this time. Definitely some bottle variation here.
