Tasted right after the 04 Artesa Cab and quite a difference. Firm tannins and deep rich flavors. Drinking great now but still lively to last several more years.

Opaque ruby robe with red rim. Clean nose, showing moderately intense aromas of black cherry, underbrush, and cardamom. Full-bodied on the palate, with low acidity, medium-to-large sweet tannins and black fruit/mineral-dominaed flavors. The middle palate is full and the medium-length finish is fairly smooth. Nice wine for the price, although not memorable (if I didnt't have my CellarTracker notes). Drink now-12/14.
