  Mighty fine wine! Perfect balance of red and black fruit, wood and tannins. Shared 3 ways but... in wine, there is love!!! Wish I had another '06. Have '07 though. Hope it's similar or better!!

  Very fruit forward Napa styled cab. The fruit is the dominating part on the nose and the palate. Very good for the red and black cherry, and blackberry, but lacks depth. Moderate tannins suggesting more time can be had in the bottle.

  Nice nose. Decanted for an hour. An earthy cabernet that is good now, but I think that its best years are still to come. I would give it 2-3 more years or a longer decant.

  Popped and poured through Vinturi and drank it right away. Slightly muted nose but you could see the tannin structure. It was the second bottle of the night. It was a pleasant and dry Cabernet whose flavor profile seemed all dark black fruit - blackberry, cassis, and maybe some blueberry that had just a hint of oak remaining. It was a good bottle and I would recommend it at the proper price point but don't think I would run out and buy any unless I found it discounted. Recommended at $40 or less. Seems like this one could still last longer in bottle. My last and only bottle.
