Drank with a spiced steak dish. Strong Rutherford character,with licorice and spices underneath the fruit. While performing well at this stage, I see no need to rush to open, will probably last a few more years, albeit with less development.

It's been nearly two years since we last had this wine and in that time the tannins have softened quite a bit. Lots of currant and oak dominating this wine and I don't see it really improving much more with additional aging. Enjoy it now while it is at its best.

Nice dark color, lots of fruit and oak. Has quite a bit of the "Rutherford Dust" which I really like. This is one of my favortie cabs, and at $38, a pretty solid QPR.

Plums, black cherries, smooth with a sweet finish.

3 hour decant. Great cab. Very rich fruit, supported by soft tannins. Finishes with herbs, vanilla, blackberry.
