  Wow, this wine must be in its apogee, or at least dang close to it. No signs of decline or being past peak. Instead everything has settled in to be right where it should be. Delicous, good fruit, balanced, long finish, and velvety tannins.

  Wow this was magical as Washington cabs go. Aged beautifully, leather and earth balanced with dark fruit sweetness.

  Significant wine, even at this age. Depth with some tannic notes, but dominated by dark fruit and structure. Shows some eucalyptus early on, then the fruit and earth take over. Let's see what day 3 brings....
  Day 4: Dense and round with medium dark fruit, the tannins having integrated nicely. Still a big wine, but showing some subtlety beneath. Quite good.

  Classic Woody Cabernet. The wine was still vibrant, but 15 years on it shows silky integration and balance. Some of the higher or more in your face elements Rick Small's cabs are know for are now in the background and the overall experience was completely elegant. Slight bricking on the edges - but still looking youthful. Depending on your storage practices this wine still has some life - but my suggestion is to drink relatively soon - I would imagine it may start to fade in the next 24-26 months.

  The 2000 Woodward Canyon Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon is yet another example of why we love this winery and its winemaking style. It’s a big, bold, complex wine, where the intensity is perfectly balanced and smooth with a very long finish. Dark red in colour, it was showing just the slightest age on the rim. Blackberry, black cherry and plum dominated the aroma while the flavour was a beautiful combination of fruit and wood with secondary notes of spice, earth and leather. Drinking brilliantly right now, it showed no sign of breaking down. www.advinetures.ca
