  After one hour upon opening the bottle this felt one dimensional and past peak, not interesting to say the least. Left to its devices and sipping other wines. After five hours - what a change. Fruit fully intact, spicy and sweet cassis and licorice flavors. A Cabernet Sauvignon which is sweet, round, smooth and classy. Good long finish. I did not see this coming, ended up sourcing more.

  3L. Daughters graduation in Woodlands Hills, Mexican. This was just popped opened and glasses filled. Really mature and all the tertiary flavors out. A wee ibt past her prime even in this format. But got better as the night went along and the last glasses were really magical.

  Excellent quality. Still youthful. Good balance. Soft tannin.

  Opened 2 bottles, one pretty good (my notes are about this one), other one was a bit over the hill. Surprising amount of fruit - not fresh, but also not dried out. Overall a very enjoyable wine - velvety with round edges, medium body, good concentration and decent structure. Soft and lush in style, if tasted blind I would have guessed it for a meritage with some merlot, or perhaps even a right-bank bordeaux. A bit straightforward, but no flaws.

  Tasted blind. Lots of bell pepper, some herb and leather, red fruits. Really good acid. Guessed an old world cab franc from Chinon. Was really surprised this was from California. 13.5%, great acid, red fruits. Ahh the good ole days in CA. Ok - some green/herbaceous notes but I liked this wine.
