We popped and poured this bottle. Very nice nose that was notable while pouring. Very soft and wonderful tannins meshed with layers of red fruit, toast, cinnamon and licorice. Everyone at dinner enjoyed this wine.

Absolutely stunning wine! Popped and poured and opened with a Bordeaux funk that was not to be believed! This is not your average California Cab but rather a California Cabernet masquerading as a French Bordeaux and pulling it off with aplomb! Just great stuff!

Beautiful nose of dark fruit and tobacco. Lots of black cherry on the palate with notes of leather, smoke and a little spice. Medium to full bodied with nice complexity. The finish was quite long with some tannins showing but they didn't get in the way. Looks like this is reaching a good point just now. Very good and represents a good QPR at around $45. Decanted 2 hours.

Drinking at its peak now. Layers and layers of casis and berries. Love this wine, especially for money
