Dark rich color, earthy, wood bark nose with some hints of wintergreen tobacco. Charcoal oak on tongue, fruit from strawberry to black raspberry. Short finish. Overall, good price point and good value from a great vineyard. Folks will be disappointed if they are expecting this to stack up with the vineyard's high end cabs.

Comparing to the 2005 I've had a while back, seems ordinary cabernet. Prominent acid and a short finish.

Drinking well right now. A beautifully balanced Cabernet. Very enjoyable with Roast Beef.

Unfortunately nothing remarkable about this bottle-no memorable characteristics. Garnet in color, tree bark on nose/taste.
