Dark garnet color. Unassuming nose of red fruit, oak. What the nose lacks, the palate makes up for. Initial attack of cherry, raspberry with accompanying notes of vanilla oak. Tannins are fully relaxed and silky. Moderate finish.

Wine Club (Bowling Green, OH): Solid Cab - nice mouthfeel, good ripeness level, with a definite delicious factor that makes up for it not being crazy complex. Opens up nicely.

Reclusive and disjointed. A bit green. This wine seems just unripe to me but with the powerful tannins the fruit may simply be covered up. This wine could easily just be in a dumb phase beacause I sense the structure there. Give it 5 years and see if it makes a wine of itself.

Full bodied with well integrated tannins. An elegant wine with plenty of red fruit and wafts of coffee and oak.

A nice solidcab with great structure for a not the best year. Deep cassis and strong tannins on the mid plaetee.
