this was "in your face", and then noticed ABV was 14.7%... not surprised at all... sad cuz the purply fruit and an earthy background was nice, but the volume was on 10 when I would have preferred 4... oh well, thank goodness that the bulk of CA cab producers (at least those that went overboard starting around 2000) have really started to taper back... which is APPRECIATED (by me at least)... if you like FULL FULL body, this is for you

Still a teen. Nice dark cherry with cocoa nibs on the initial palette. Violet and cedar notes follow but the tannins are still too sharp. Still overpriced to quality.

Like the wine, but not worth it at that price point...

Nice dark cherry and prune on the front notes. Still needs several more years until an optimal drinking range.
