For my preference this is at peak drinking now. Soft tannin but still some structure. Ripe plums, mixed berries, mint, cassis and aged leather. This held strong across two nights. No real secondary notes at this point.

This bottle was not decanted yet the wine was a very enjoyable PnP. It is in a good place now with a nice harmony of mature, rich fruit and tannins. This vintage should last several more years.

25th Annual Lyon 10 Year Retrospective (Lyon Down Inn): Back to a beautiful open nose! Creme de cassis and black berries and cherries. Loam, oak and tannins are formidable goalkeepers, might want to wait a year to take this slapshot. 94 on day 2, structure and berries still fighting it out!

Decanted/served with reverse seared smoked prime Rib Eye Steaks. Beautifully aged. Dark fruit and a little spice on the nose. Great texture on the palate, blackberry, mulberry. Long deep finish.

World class cab. Really nice balance of fruit and freshness. A really great example of Columbia Valley premier wines. Should evolve for some time.
