Excellent estate Cab from one of the nicest vineyards to visit in all of wine country. This wine is showing well now & likely will continue to do so for several more years. Pair w/a fine Filet & you will have an excellent evening.

Big fragrant nose of sweet black fruit and some chocolate notes and smoked game. Dark black , purple to the rim this wine is decadent and rich but without being overly extracted. Still has a few sharp notes on the finish with a few unresolved tannins but a long and powerful finish.

Excellent bottle with dark fruit, earthiness, oak and good supporting structure. Fruit is lush but the wine has good tension to keep it lively. Doubt it gets much better from here.
