Loved my final bottle. Paired with steak and potatoes, this was a jewel on the table. Opened for 2 hrs and poured through an aerator, the beginning was cassis and black raspberries. The middle was eucalyptus and cedar, with a side of oak. The finish was silk, velvet, a long lasting roller coaster of ripe tannin. Thank God for good wine!!! Amen.

Was a bit worried about how well this wine has held up, but it was still in fine condition. Still a lot of fruit and the tannins were well-balanced. Good, hearty cab/merlot blend. But there is definitely better wine from the region at similar prices (or lower). Unfortunately, that's one of the reasons why I am no longer a wine club member. Lambert Bridge is one of my favorite places to visit and they make great reds, but price point is too high.

Opened prior to dinner. 4th of July post dinner wine. Shared three ways. Full-bodied and savory. Cardamom, nutmeg and mint spice trio packed with red fruits, eucalyptus and cassis. Long finish. So glad I have one more to share.

Much better than my last bottle (surprisingly), when I thought the fruit had faded... still a lot of oak apparent, but evolving into a Bordeaux-like red fruit wine of incredible value (at the $7/bottle I paid!).
