Wow, was this a fabulous cabernet sauvignon! It was lush with wonderfully integrated tannins. Lots of blackberry fruit, cassis and cocoa on the palate.

This was quite a find-not cheap but tremendous wine-- structure and fruit are amazing. not a massive red wine but awesome with cheese (or with nothing). Drank it against a Silver Oak 2010 and Shafer 1.5 2010 and it held up well- some called it best wine of the night.

This opened up watery and uninspired. However, after 30-60 minutes this opened up and became quite elegant. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, cocoa, spice -- dark fruited for sure. Relatively fine, but very much present tannins. This drank well, elegant yet brooding. Just not a "wow" Napa cab, which I was in the mood for tonight.

First bottle I have had- amazing structure and balance. Does not blow your head off- fruit and tannin are well integrated as you would expect by now but no sense of age... Still has youthful qualities and some surprise. Loved it. So happy I have three more cellared.
