(Novelty Hill Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) On the nose, a bit muted at the moment (no surprise given that it's a 2007). Chocolate along with spice (can't quite pick up what it is, a bit of anise perhaps?) and some pleasing herbal elements. Fairly acid driven on a taste that is very evenly balanced across the palate. A powdered chocolate element on the nose along with a bit more tannin structure. Smooth and even. The nose has lots of cherry, black pepper, and an under layer of anise. Definitely more of a chocolate and anise component on the nose and taste than I get on the 2006. I like the nose more on the 2006 but like the palate a bit more on the 2007. Retrying after decanting, a lot of great stuff on the nose. I think the 2007 has a bit more upside, although the 2006 is tasting better right now with another year in the bottle. The 2007 carries more completely across the palate. I also get, as this wine opens up, a light egg component on the nose. Perhaps from egg fining? 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc; 1% Petit Verdot. 3,964 cases produced. 14.4% alcohol.

Pnp, mod sed. Nice new world cab in a good place tonight. Nice ripe red fruits intermingled with some earth. In a good place tonight. Alive and well.

Wasn't sure what to expect - I haven't had this in years and this was a lone-survivor in our cellar. Cork broke off when opening, but the wine was solid. Dark, ripe aromas of chocolate and cherry, some slight earth. This still has some heft - the body was rich and round, with silky notes. I don't remember liking this as much then as I did now. Really quite delicious.

Used as cooking wine. Tasted a bit better than the previous awful bottle but still not worth drinking.

Popped and poured this table side at Ruth’s Chris. Beautiful floral bouquet. No bricking, minimal settlement. Nice pretty New World Cabernet that was very enjoyable tonight. Mild tannins, dark fruit on the palate. No major flaws here.

quick double decant, smoky currant,coffee and black cherry, on a polished modern style, a handful of red fruit on the palate, pulled through despite being nearly corked, watch out
