Didn’t have high expectations based on the community reviews of this wine (from 9 years ago), but this was an impressive bottle! Definite bricking in the color, but beautiful oak expressions on the nose and delicious black fruit, raisin flavors with some smoke on the understandably diminished finish. Still an impressive amount of tannins present.

Taylor Mag is a fairly young vineyard for Red Mountain Cabernet, but then it is managed by the esteemed Dick Boushey, so expectations run high. This wine produces lip smacking flavors of dark red and blue fruits with smooth tannins and a pleasing finish intertwined with acidity.

Deliciously ripe with a zesty, spicy finish that makes up for the reduced acidity.
