Community Tasting Notes (17) Avg Score: 90.0 points

  • A Last Minute Saturday Evening: Very dark red color. Decanted for 90 minutes. Drank 1 glass over 90 minutes. This still took some glass time to flesh out. There was some heat initially on the nose and palate, and while it settled in, it wasn't completely gone either. Full bodied, glycerin, cassis, fairly long with pretty oak spice notes, dark with tar and scorched earth. Good, could use even more time really.

  • Dark, opaque, ruby red to the rim with color moving slowly to the center. At its peak now but will hold for several years. Aromatic nose of dark blue fruit, leather, cedar, a hint of clove. complex and powerful as the wine emerged on the second day. Rich taste of blackberry and spices, like a delicious pie but with a powerful structure, tart acidity, dusty and ripe tannins. Beautifully balanced with a moderately long finish with the floral scents coming in right at the end. Sonoma with its More tightly structured and lighter mouthfeel than a juicy, herbaceous Napa cab. Definitely decant. As someone wrote, legendary stuff.

  • This just keeps improving with age. At 13 years it still has probably 5 years until it reaches its peak and mellows out. Thought it reached its peak last time I tried it about 2 years ago, but was wrong - it has dramatically improved. Fantastic showing from Sonoma. Too bad Dick Arrowood sold the winery to bozos. This stuff is legendary.

  • Very nicely aged wine with tannins that are beautifully integrated and balanced with just the right amount of fruit. This is not a "fruit bomb", this is a 100% classic Sonoma Cabernet structured in a Bordeaux style. Reached its peak and likely will hold at it for another 3-4 years. Long finish. Paired well with beef wellington. I'm really glad I have 4 more bottles.
