Outstanding representation of a Livermore cab. Maybe one of the fineness. Still a fair amount of oak, but not too much - a solid wine throughout. Wish I had more.

Typical Steven Kent Cab. Good complex, fruity nose with hints of coffee and chocolate. Good balance, enough tannins to hold things together. Drinks well now, but will last a couple more years no problem.

The wine is a medium to deep ruby red color. The interesting nose has cassis, cedar, Asian spices, tobacco, black olives, dark chocolate, dried herbs, black cherries, and a touch of earthiness. This has medium to full body, fairly solid tannins, and good acidity. The palate has nice fruit and spice up front with olives and earthiness coming in on the back end adding nice depth. The finish has nice length and leans heavily on the savory elements. This improved a lot with air; initially there was a green bell pepper element that after a couple hours integrated nicely.
