Awkwardly ripe and jammy. None of the spice or lift from last year--suspect it's hibernating or at least in need of a good long decant (two hours was not enough). Let them sleep.

Oh my...yes, lots and lots and lots of life left in these. Pretty much pop and pour into a decanter, but silky, smoky, lots of acid left, but well integrated with the tannins. This can go another 5 years +. Well done effort

Everything I hoped for when I bought these five years ago was present in this bottle. Uber elegant: spicy and complex with silky tannins in ways that contradict the WA cab stereotype. A masterpiece.

Made by Rob Newsom (Boudreaux). Blend of Cab, Mer, PV, CF, Syrah and Sangiovese. Exquisite blend, super complex with great depth, elegant and perfumed. Only 150 cases made.
