W lasagna on cold winter night. Very good cab, not very napa, it had its own southern cal taste profile. Great nose, great taste, great color - good finish. This clearly benefitted from ageing. Yummy and i will buy the TCV cab again

An other great TCV wine. They don't make it every year. One hour after opening, it really showed its character. Had it with a 2007 Itailan Il Pino, a Michel Rolland wine, and it held its own.

Cleanly made wine, as is expected from TCV. Definite oak tones on the nose, lovely garnet color. Varietal flavors come through up front. Medium body. Good wine.

Secondary characteristics are starting to show and this is really interesting. Green Bell Pepper, Cedar, Iron, and a little bit Gamey. There is still rich red fruit underneath and just the slightest hint of sweet tannin left. This should continue to evolve for a couple more years, but I love it now.
