Absolutely loved this wine...picked it up around 9 years ago at a steal of a price and finally opened with expectations that it would be Run Rig's little brother. Perhaps even better as a tremendous combination of earthy and dark fruit with and exceptional mouth feel.

2009 Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

Thank goodness I waited a day to finish this wine. An afternoon margarita ruined my palate for the first glass.
VERY GOOD - couldn't develop a nose profile as we dined outside and the wind was uncooperative. Wonderful wine on the palate. Wonderful dark caramelized red fruit with hint of red cherry. The tannin was a beautiful balance of silky smooth and the right amount of chalk to give a long and very full mouthfeel.

2008 L'Aventure Estate Cuvée

Secret Santa Gift 2012: Extremely dark and viscous...flavor profile mirrored color with heavy fruit and a chewy structure. A plummy licorice on the font palate and a fairly long finish...finish was much more balanced on day #2. I'm a big fan of Central Coast Syrah's and this one did not disappoint. The cabernet blend added a dimension that perhaps would suggest another couple of years and/or a longer decant for many but I'm actually a big fan of that upfront power.
