No longer my type of wine, but for what it is - it's remarkable. Massive, robust and concentrated, loaded with dark fruit dominated by tree bark, leather yet the depth of the olfactory is staggering - you get the picture. It seems descending from the plato, so I'm glad I opened my last bottle yesterday.

This has not been a great wine despite coming from Alexander Valley. But dug this out of the cellar and it has never been better. Worth drinking with nice body and a decent finish. Tannins are relaxed but still present. Drink soon.

This has improved greatly and was quite enjoyable. Decant 30 minutes or more. Tight blackberry nose with blue and black fruit flavors giving way to fig and cassias. Nice acidity with a medium finish. Should continue to improve

Smooth, lots of acidity for a cab, drinkable and pairs well with lamb but looks like it's going downhill

Good bottle for the midweek. Not great, but an easy drinking cab.
