A nicely ripe cab, with a noce nose, but perhaps maturing at a faster rate. The fruit seems to be taking a bit of a back seat to the oak. Still a creamy, fruity. smooth cab, but one to drink up soon.

Extremely fine. Excellent concentration and silky mouthfeel. Not a rough edge to this wine. Black fruits and milk chocolately. Very accesable, yet also has the structure for medium term aging.

A little rustic at first, but after a day it smoothed out tremendously. Black fruits, nicely oaked, decent finish. A very good house wine. Definitely needs some age.
