Tasted alongside some inferior Margaret River, Barossa, and Clare Valley cabernets. Ruby colored, med staining and viscosity. Somewhat restrained aromas if sweet red fruits. On the palate ripe red currants, raspberries and sweet ripe cherries. Lots of dusty leaves, some savory green notes and dried tarragon, leather, hint of licorice. Sweet vanilla and cinnamon along with smoke confirms lots of time in barrel. Concentrated enough but fresh. Med+ body and med+ finish.

This is a good textbook Sonoma cab, but doesn't have any wow factor. Enjoyable, and well structured, but the fruit is one dimensional. Bing cherry, tar and some bell pepper. Ready to drink now, and should be good for the next 2-3 years

The wine has declined since the last one I drank. I would drink soon.

Great aroma. Nice fruit and balance. Not a very long finish. Really liked this wine.
