Still a strong, young California Cab with many years of life remaining. A bit tannic on the long finish. It was my last bottle and I wish I had waited another year or two to open it!

Based on previous reviews I believe this has improved significantly with age. A very refined, smooth, characteristic California Cab. Fruit and tannins are will integrated. Delicious with a grilled NY strip steak.

Delicious nose on this wine, with great fruity notes and beautiful color. The taste was very high in tannins, but nonetheless the flavor was good. Probably could have used some more time.

Some fruit in the nose; very dark red/purple; taste is fruit forward; not the best balance of tannins and sugar; hard to pair -- maybe with fowl, not so much with red meat; somewhat sweet rather than woody

Purple color, Restrained nose, some tart fruit aromas. Medium body, acidic with fairly austere profile. Some fruit hidden inside. Hopefully will open over time.
