I’m a big fruit forward California cab guy. Maybe too much sometime. This was a perfect balance of fruit and a little tannin. Smooth but not too smooth if that makes sense. A bit of sediment but that’s expected in an 08 I think. Made a couple Costco steaks that we sous vide beforehand then finished on the grill. Perfect. Probably a bit much for a Tuesday!

Drank over 3 days. Needed only about 20 minutes to open up. A little tannic at first but good with a long chocolate, mocha finish. Got better with time. Great on the third day. Still a lot of life left and good now

Full body, complex aromas and it is time to drink it up.
