  Nose is strong and true to the flavors. After a few more years since last review, not much has changed. Caspers a bit, as in the ghost, disappears toward the end. Strong dark cherry, bit tannic, more spice notes than I would expect from a cab

  Wonderful on the nose and up front, but quickly dies off. Mid and backend are flat. Easy drinker, but not quite as spectacular as Steven's other offerings.

  A little young and underdeveloped.

  The second bottle was not nearly as impressive. More of a quaffer

  This opaque ruby wine is comprised of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from three different Livermore Valley vineyards. Aged for 20 months in French oak (50% new), it delivers a gorgeous payload of black currants, dark cherries, pipe tobacco and dried herbs, framed with fresh acidity and ample fine-grained tannins. Full-bodied and without any heat from its 14.5% alcohol, it has excellent mid-palate density and closes with a lengthy, albeit grippy finish. From an esteemed appellation with an amazing history, this is a delicious Cabernet that would be priced substantially higher if it carried a Napa Valley label. I would favor cellaring this for a year or two, during which time the tannins on the finish should soften. Thereafter, it should be a delight for several years. Drink 2019-2025.
