Great Diamond Mountain District wine. Give it an hour to open up, complexity really starts to show in layers. This is in its window. Very elegant in style, not as heavy as I anticipated. Some red fruit but mainly dominated by dark fruits (black berry, cassis, black cherry) integrated with cocoa, coconut, and baking spices. Long finish.

I poured this wine blind to my friends and everybody LOVED it, one of them guessed 2007 Shafer Hillside Select! Everyone was in Napa Cabernet. Bold body, persistent tannins, nice balance and good finish. It was only beat by 2007 Abreu which is a RP 100PTS wine and tied with 2004 Messorio WS 100PTS!

I bit sweeter than previous experiences but lovely once again. Complex mountain Cab, the body felt a notch littler than before. Good wine!

Paired with a fatty Rib Eye Steak and it couldn't be any better. Bold, earthy, long finish and the best days still to come.
Drink or HOLD!
