This was better than expected. Given some of the notes on CT, I was a touch worried. After the first cork blew out, my worries increased. Yet this was a nice, balanced wine that went nicely with a traditional thanksgiving dinner. Tasted like a solid berry, jammy cab with a good finish. I decanted these two and they needed it. They are at their peak.

Definitely took some time to open up in the bottle. Very surprised once it did. Well balanced cab with a bit of old school Cali style to it. Good but not a long finish.

From FBM's cellar. I obviously like this one better than other reviewers. It struck me as a very well balanced, nicely aged California cab of a traditional, old school Cali styling. A nice treat.

The wine was still very friuty and tannic and has a few more years left on it.

Past it's prime. Muted fruit with a very short finish.
