Opened by Mark. My favorite of the 3 Cal Cabs we opened and one of my favorite California wineries. I previously had the Pride Cabs from the 1991, 1998, 2001, 2005 and 2009 vintages. This 2012 was a blackish purple color. The most fruit forward of the wines that evening. Round with bright ripe fruit. Notes of red currant, licorice and black cherries. Long finish. 95 points.

1 Hour decant. Full bodied yet ethereal texture, dense plum, graphite, creme de cassis. This one was simply hard to resist until it the bottle was empty. A classic for sure.

3 1/2 years since my last bottle of this and I'm bumping my score up a point.
