Deep pretty garnet red. Wonderful old cabernet nose of plums, violets, and blackberry. Very full, smooth and in the sweet spot, but I would guess several more good years left in the bottle. Turning to spice on the nice lingering finish. Old style, 13% alcohol.

One of the very best California Cabs I've tasted, unless I go back to the great Tchelistcheff Beaulieu Cabs of the 50's. Four of us were all in agreement on this one. Perfect balance, finish, fullness, not at all fruit forward or overdone... just right.
