Pop a cork so you can grab the last of its tobacco, cherry, stone, earth, cedar and blackberry nose. Medium bodied, soft and on the gentle, downhill side of life, this is not quite as good as it was in its prime. But what is?

Deep garnet. OMG nose-this is what I want all Cali Cabs to age to-tobacco, berries, anise,herbs. Taste was more of the same, smooth. Drinking a pointe and my favorite red of the year so far.

Puts the F in FUNKY. Yuck. Consensus among my peers was blue cheese on nose, nobody could get past it. Declining fruit and acid, flabby.

In Shockingly good shape. Color was fading, but aromas and flavors were all in place. Loved it with steak.
