I echo jaumealaska "Still purple and fully extracted. Nose of sweet red and dark fruits with a touch of olive and herbal notes lurking below. The tannins are largely resolved with enough acidity for balance. Lots of fruit in my bottle." Paired nicely with a steak.

(Mark Ryan Dead Horse Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain) Distinct herbal grace notes along with cherry, chocolate, freshly tilled soil, cassis, and vanilla. The palate is full of chocolate and cherry flavors with firm, chewy tannins. Drinking well right now but will improve with additional time in the bottle. Give at least two years or a long decant. 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. Ciel du Cheval, Klipsun, Obelisco, Red Willow, Kiona, and Force Majeure vineyards. Aged 22 months in French oak (71% new). 15.1% alcohol. 1,275 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.

Good nose. Nice initial taste but it didn’t really finish. Still Really Nice wine but it has lost the finish.

Underwhelmed, had high expectations for this one. Average for red mountain.
