  Opened and drank. Needed about 30 minutes. But was very good once it opened a bit. Smooth throughout with notes of dark fruit and tabacco

  Bright fruit on the nose.
  Tight but voluptuous upon opening and opened up and evolved nicely over several hours.
  Seemed almost impervious to age.
  Dark spicy syrupy fruit on the palate w a long herbed, garlic and fig highlighted finish.
  This wine far exceeds expectations.

  The best Cakebread Cab I've had, delicious, smooth, held it's own in a great lineup of California wines.

  Very nice smooth cab with lots of berries on the nose. Really great with med filet, garlic and sautéed onions. Enjoyed with my son from frisco who is developing a great palet to go with his tech business.
