Deep ruby with a bit of haze and the slightest bit of bricking and the edge. A very savory and herbaceous nose with a green top note supported by charred dark fruits and oak. Integrated, but still present tannins. A whisper thin on entry, but nice grip on the finish. The acid is present, but in great balance with the tannins and flavors. The palate follows the nose pretty closely with the charred elements continuing. A lively, completely intact, savory driven Cali Cab. Really delicious stuff.

pretty dang good at 20 years. Still feels a bit lean and mountain fruit characteristics shine thru....
