  maybe a bit past her prime, but still very good.
  aerated & decanted, then left to rest overnight, then aerated once more. a lot of sediment on the shoulders of the bottle and cork.
  subtle and mature, well rounded and alluring. each sip enticed us to have another.
  nothing overwhelming about this cab. everything seamed in balance and harmonious.

  Upon opening everything a California cab could offer very nice. A day later astrigent and lacking the fullness and depth that was evident 18 hours ago, was now ,strickingly lacking , now the wood, the oak was evident in the bouquet, and to the palet. The fruit has dissapeared from the nose. A hint of sour cherry, rasberry sweet raisin on the palet.

  Subtle nose, with traditional cab palette. An excellent value!
