  Last bottle of the case, just opened, sitting in cold storage for 10 years. Fruity start and faded at the end. Still refreshing as a light nightcap.

  Liked it much better than last bottle. Good food match maybe? Quality cab.

  This is in a wonderful spot at the moment. I don't know if it will improve any more, but it should stay here for a couple years. Nose of dark fruits, some mintiness to it and a touch of mocha. Black cherries just cover the palate. Very tasty. Nice long finish with tannins almost fully integrated and good acidity to balance everything out. This was about as good as you can get for a $25 dollar Cab.

  Opened and sipped to check for corkage...After initial sips checked the CT notes and Fozziedoggie seems to be right on. Fruit forward with disappearing tannins and secondary notes. Two bottles in the cooler, will drink both tonight...this is at the end of it's life but still a decent CA cab.

  Silky and soft with nice balance. This wine has a very fruit forward taste; lots of dark fruits, the cocoa and leather are disappearing from this one now. The finish is medium. A good restaurant wine (consistent and reliable). Don't believe additional cellar time will achieve anything; time to drink up.
