  A head turner Cali, Cab dominated BDX blend for just $32 locally on release! Beat that! Ca only accounts for 4% of my cellar while France & Italy are 90%. Even so, I find much kinship w/ Mount Eden Estate & Domaine Eden wines. Apparently, so are others these days as the Estate wines have jumped in cost. The Domaine Eden BDX blend offers some added richness & fruit of CA Cabs but also delivers Santa Cruz Mt structure to prevent it from feeling heavy or monochromatic. There is terroir expression & depth aplenty to please any Euro wine fan while also please my 37yr daughter & son-in-law last night for a dual grandsons birthday celebration with burgers & dogs. Bravo Mt Eden! 14% alc went unnoticed. I slow-oxed in a Ridel BDX glass & btl for 3-1/2 hours prior to dinner. Served in high 50s/low 60s. A 5 grape blend for any wine usually enhances the whole & it likely did here.

  This was a surprise. This baby brother to the Mt. Eden Cab was spectacular. Did not decant it which I normally do, but found the wine showed much better without the decant. This wine was purchase new and properly stored.

  Nice nose but I found it a little too lean on the palate. Good wine.

  Still great. Bad cork but hadn’t leaked and thus doesn’t seem to have impacted the wine, other than having to strain out a few bits of cork. No great improvements over the last bottle drunk about a year ago. I still think this has several more years before it starts declining.

  Just excellent, balanced, full bodied at a nice age.
