Did you ever find a bottle in your cellar and think to yourself "where the hell did this come from?" Well, this is that bottle, I have no clue but it showed up on a search of cabernet and was ripe for the pickings. Took this to a holiday party where it was promptly consumed.
Dark color, hints of charcoal. Nose of cassis and medium toasted oak. It certainly reflected the cabernet heritage with a bit of old school California sauvignon. Tannins are rounded out but acid still holds everything together. Silky mouthfeel and medium short finish.

Tasted as I had hoped. Beautifully aged AV cabernet. Great nose. Layered. Balanced. Medium finish.

A friend brought this over to go with tri-tip. Wow...a big wine, but the aforementioned tannins are now in balance. Can I find more?
