Community Tasting Notes (average 92.3 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 12 notes) | |
| Tasted by Night Train on 10/23/2009 & rated 90 points: Currants on the nose and on the palate, along with a hint of mint. Medium body with fine, almost sweet tannins. Very nice finish. Overall impression is sleek and sophisticated. Not showing any signs of age - should last a couple more years, if not longer. (222 views) | |
| Tasted by Double D on 10/7/2009 & rated 93 points: A bit on the medium bodied side but very well balanced and at 8 years a very very nice wine. The inital taste was wonderfully sweet and no astringent after taste. (257 views) | |

| Tasted by flashvictor on 12/1/2008 & rated 92 points: Deep crimson color leads to a nose of red currant, sage, and tobacco. Body carries currant and sage flavors forward will adding some allspice and a hint of vanilla. Finishes with sweet enjoyable tannins. Really enjoyable bottle of wine which has added considerable heft from last tasting four years ago. Has at least 10 years of life left. (512 views) | |
| Tasted by WetRock on 2/23/2008: Double decanted couple hours prior to the event. Pretty fat middle here with the oak showing but not overly so. More modern styled and fleshy but still some nice complexities peaking out. Not a huge grip for a Cab but this is still pretty young. Don't touch for another 5 years. (949 views) | |
| Tasted by Btrue on 12/31/2007 & rated 92 points: (718 views) | |
| Tasted by vinole on 10/20/2007 & rated 93 points: An elegant wine and very well balanced, with lovely dark fruit flavors and a hint of sweetness. Finishes with a touch of cassis and light oak on the long, smooth finish. Excellent wine that stresses finesse and balance rather than big fruit and oak. (1129 views) | |
| Tasted by WineForRob on 3/19/2007 & rated 94 points: Great wine. Similar to the 03 with a huge dark berry nose. Very tasty on the palate with a long seamless finish. I really like their wine. (1432 views) | |
| Tasted by tanglenet on 4/7/2006: Opened not decanted. Starts out with a great nose, and when I taste, it turns dull and funky. It has inklings of good spice and flavors and they just disappear into a muddled mess. (1651 views) | |
| Tasted by tanglenet on 8/25/2005: Opened not decanted. Cherry red color with some clarity at the edges of the glass. Warm berry flavors not unlike cola, a little hot to my palate, but good. (1821 views) | |
| Tasted by flashvictor on 8/20/2004 & rated 92 points: Dark crimson in color with a nose of black cherry. The body adds currant and tobacco to finish with a complex a respectably long finish. The intersting thing about this wine is its very feminine character. There is no fruit bomb here this is pure elegance. A very pretty wine. (2151 views) |

About red wine Varietal character (Appellation America) [Requires a subscription payment for information.] WineAmerica (National Association of American Wineries) | Free the Grapes! California Wines (Wine Institute of California) California is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with almost 100 grape varieties grown in almost 10 viticultural areas, including dozens of different microclimates and soil types, as well as a very individualistic set of winemakers, many with international experience, which adds to and deepens that diversity.
