A beautifully aged Cab Sauv/Cab Franc red blend. Still has a beautiful garnet color, with aromas of red fruit and tobacco. On the palate, you notice fine grain tannins with a velvety finish. Being an aged wine, it has a remarkable taste with notes of red fruits.

No change from my 7/14/13 notes other than it did not get decanted when opened 2+ hours before tasting event. Still a very nice wine, very smooth on the palate.

Dark red fruits, dried tobacco and touch of green. Minimal fine tannins. Acidity moves it along. A bit disjointed in mid pal with touch of heat, but pretty good. Not sure if it will continue to improve but has plenty of life left.

Prominent red fruit on the nose and palate, beautiful color which belied its' age. Velvety on the palate. My last one
