Drinking beautifully right now even without some air time. I don't believe it will stretch to 2022. I had the 2010 last week and it was disappointing. The fruit was gone and the predominate flavor was of green pepper. Not the normal profile for the wine. The 2009 again, was great.

4th Saturday group uptown tasting (R&D's): Double blind. Opens with a black fruit quality but has a sourness as well. Medium tannins with flavors of mixed red and black fruit that turn sour through the midpalate and finish.

Excellent bottle of wine. Beautiful expression of California Cabernet. Took a good 30 minutes to open up, but then really showed its balance.

Unexciting, but very pleasing and enjoyable; drinking very nicely right now. Black and red fruits, with a very smooth and long finish.

Smooth, elegant, with soft tannins. Raspberry, cherry, and some black fruits. Very easy drinking, but not particularly exciting.
