We opened and drank over a few hours. The nose was mostly dark fruit, the palate was blueberry, plum, licorice and a touch of chocolate. The finish was moderate to long and full. An enjoyable drinking experience.

Surprisingly light bodied (I expected more weight based on previous vintages). But delicious nonetheless. Tastes like a Beringer cab. Enjoyed it, though it wasn’t transcendent. Might have needed a few more years.

Solid. Showing well now and enjoyable, but nothing to distinguish it. Still rather youthful, considering the vintage, so not much in the way of secondary notes.

Solid Napa Cabernet, just not exceptional. Dark cherry, blackberry, cassis fruit with oak spice and earthy elements mixing into the smooth finish that lingers nicely before subtle astringency leaves a dry impression. Good food wine, went well with filet in green peppercorn sauce. On the early side of mature, should drink fine through 2020, although I recommend over the next couple of years.

Beautiful. Bought this at the winery in 2010 I believe. Everything about it was classy. One of those "I should've bought more."
