I let it breathe for 2.5 hours. Drank over 2. Really pure fruit. Not overly ripe. Medium to full bodied. Not heat coming off this one. Balanced with just the right amount of acidity. If you're looking for super concentrated and ripe this will be disappointing.

Ruby in color, black fruit and some earth on the nose. Mid- to full-bodied mouth feel, with evidence of tannins, folded in nicely. More black fruit than red, with raspberry, secondary tobacco, leather, graphite elements, maybe some wood, profile is slightly bitter mid-palate. Well, but perhaps not flawlessly, integrated. Nicely complex interesting wine.

Spectacular wine. Dark fruits, violets, sage, cedar, firm tannins. We couldn't stop enjoying the nose and mouthfeel. Conversation kind of stopped as we appreciated this outstanding exemplar of cult California Cab, with a bit of age.

Double decanted. Red fruited, floral nose. Palate still primordial with silky tannins. Refreshing acidity. Still a baby.

Very strong nose with high alcohol, after 20 min. It settled down and was just beautiful. Medium plus body, complex and fantastik finish!!!
