  Tastes like a cherry black and mild - incredibly smooth

  Decanted for an hour. Blackberry and lots of jam on first taste. Not much tannins left and the finish was moderate at best. Overall not bad but also nothing to bring me back as there are lots of wines that I liked more.

  Camphor on the nose. On the palate, cherry and red and black berry fruit with notes of cocoa and savory spice on the medium finish, with strong tannins and strong acidity on the medium to long finish. This is near its peak, but it should hold for some years. This was an excellent value at about $30.

  CALIFORNIA CABERNETS, VINTAGES 1994-2011 PAIRING DINNER DECEMBER 7, 2019: Aromas of melted stone, cassis, sweet and savory spices. Thick and concentrated palate, with a full middle and big round tannins, showing more structure than flavor.

  A bit tight on opening, but showed well after an hour decant.
  Ripe, fruit forward yet structured dusty tannins. Has fruit, yet not sweet.
  Cocoa, leather, spice.
  Good length on finish, albeit a bit simple.
  Excellent for Sonoma cab.
  Loved by the wife - her favored mix of fruit, silky texture, tannins. Rich without being overly fruity or tannic.
  Me - 91/92, Wife - 93
