  This is not in any way a caricature of California Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s not over the top, though it does still show ripe red/black fruit, and a healthy dose of oak spice. It’s just an easygoing, very drinkable, and satisfying Cabernet that soothes the ills of corporate meetings, and bridges the gap from happy hour to bedtime. I’m happy to have a few more, even if it isn’t my usual poison. It’s mindlessly pleasurable to drink, and Thursdays often need that.

  Still lots of life. A 90's style - smooth, oaky, silky, more oak than you typically see today. Cork extracted in 2 pieces.

  Structure and nose remains, but most fruit is gone. Still would work with a steak.

  Black cherry, blackberry, and dark plum fruit. Notes of earth, dark chocolate, savory herbs, black licorice, and cedar. Still has some nice acidity and smooth tannins on a good long finish. Good spot right now.
