Delicate yet still heavy on the tannin. A lighter cab sav but medium weight & medium finish. Fairly dry after taste. Definitely best at first open as with many WA cab's. Sour & dry edges come out after a while. Wouldn't go looking for it again.

Lovely wine, less youthful and more developed than the last bottle. Still plenty of time to develop further though. Plums, blueberry, blackberry, cedar, brambles. Tightly integrated tannins and acidity. The balance is so good. I would say this is good for another 15 years.

Still very young. Refined fruit with blackberries, plums and prunes. The tannins are smooth. The wine is medium bodied with nice length that keeps you interested. I think this has years to go.

Only down side is once open the life is short only 3 hours after which its just tannins and sour cherries.

Just coming into it drinking window. Still has some acidity. Tannins have softened. Fruit is prominent. Will easily last another 6 to 8 years
