This wine is ready for action. Good wine. Not as good as the 2014 but very smooth with fully integrated tannins giving a good plush mouthfeel. Good without food.

Nice aroma of dark fruits. It hits the palate with smooth dark fruits and is very balanced. Good integrated tannins. Very easy to drink for a full bodied Cab. Drink now or in the next few years. Quite impressive.

Classic Cali cab from a great vintage. Dark fruits, cocoa powder, cherry, vanilla, and a plush mouth feel. Probably at the very beginning of its drinking window.

Opened in bottle for 1 hour plus. Good but stylistically exactly what I think an 07 in this range would be. Cherry chapstick, chalky cassis, tobacco, milk chocolate, aged leather, and eucalyptus. No acid and little structure with secondary notes entering the foreground. Drink up.

Stored perfectly since release but sadly well past prime. Still more than drinkable though.
