An excellent wine, the Greer 2008 initially seemed a tiny bit blurry to me, but improved tremendously overnight in the recorked, mostly full bottle. Deeply colored, the wine showcases crème de cassis and red licorice, with barest hints of caramel. Ripe, slightly sweet, with firm but well-integrated acids, and a soft tannic structure. Fully mature now.

At twelve years old, this beauty remains deep garnet in glass with no bricking. Foundation of dark fruit remains, with emerging black licorice, leather, and forest floor notes. Round and lush.

Inky dark red. Smooth silky cassis and ripe plum notes. The tannins are fully integrated. A very fruit forward rather than brooding style. One of the better ‘08 California Cabs we’ve had. Good now.

PnP-Tannins present. Slow Ox 4 hours and then recorked overnight. Nice full Bodied with lots of sweet blueberry fruit and mild but present tannins. This has plenty of life left. 95+
