Aging nicely and the oak is driving some nice aromas and flavors. Nose is perfumed with cedar, spice, and leather with some dark currant and plum fruits. Guessing this will continue getting better but drinking well now.

My last of these. This showed very well, retaining a surprising amount of power and concentration, not showing any adverse signs of age, but fully complete, powerful and extended. Definitely one of the better cabs from Sonoma, but you have to be a member to get these, though they show up on the secondary market. This has a slight savory, sour cherry note I pick up from so many Sanoma wines. Really quite nice, but was expensive too - about $71, though can be had for much less on futures, which is an option they support every year for members.

Quite rich and extended, red fruit, a solid cab from Sonoma with a bit more depth and expression than I'm used to from Sonoma cabs but also a bit overpriced at about $70. I tend to prefer a more black or blue fruit profile though, which is not easy had from Sonoma.
