This wine seems to be kicked at this point. Fruit is gone and it has an unpleasant finish. I switched to a different wine and let this one sit for 2 hours to see if there would be a positive change. There was a change, but unfortunately, not for the better.
I have one left and won't be waiting long to try it.

Ruby, meidum body, prominent aromas of dark red fruit and cassis,bit'o funk, delicious dark fruit, cassis, and zippy acid, medium finish, better than my expectations... drink now - 22...

This one is like the Energizer Bunny. It just keeps going. Still a youthful-looking bright purple in the glass, right up to the edge. The Sonoma nose is still there - subtle hints of earth, bramble and spice that entice. Remains surprisingly fruity despite its now advancing age. Softer now, displaying a pleasing roundness. Finishes with very good length and silky tannins that are almost fully resolved. Satisfying and delicious. Might still be the best under $25 Sonoma Cabernet I've tasted in the past five years. You would pay at least twice as much for anything close to this from Napa. 50+5+12+17+7=91

Well-priced alternative to Napa. Full-bodied, dark. Good structure. Would not hold much longer as fruit seems to be fading a bit.
