  This wine seems to be kicked at this point. Fruit is gone and it has an unpleasant finish. I switched to a different wine and let this one sit for 2 hours to see if there would be a positive change. There was a change, but unfortunately, not for the better.
  
  I have one left and won't be waiting long to try it.

  This one is like the Energizer Bunny. It just keeps going. Still a youthful-looking bright purple in the glass, right up to the edge. The Sonoma nose is still there - subtle hints of earth, bramble and spice that entice. Remains surprisingly fruity despite its now advancing age. Softer now, displaying a pleasing roundness. Finishes with very good length and silky tannins that are almost fully resolved. Satisfying and delicious. Might still be the best under $25 Sonoma Cabernet I've tasted in the past five years. You would pay at least twice as much for anything close to this from Napa.

  Well-priced alternative to Napa. Full-bodied, dark. Good structure. Would not hold much longer as fruit seems to be fading a bit.
