Pretty much right at peak. Dark, inky red, bricked rim. Nose of dried cherries, mint, and mushroom. A nice balance between earth and fruit in the mouth, showing some age but not over the hill. Well balanced, 60 sec finish.

Another solid but overpriced Cali cab..cherries and spice dominate the nose and palate.. Lacks complexity and was quite boring.. However it was balanced with no sign of heat on the finish despite the 15.2 Alc ..For 75 bucks u can find a much more complex Bordeaux or CDP that will not leave u bored drinking it.

This is a very nice Cab. Black cherry and tobacco flavors hit you immediately. It has a very nice finish that is real smooth.

Straightforward -- big and bold, lots of fruit, toasty oak notes, powerful.
Drink 2011 (with decanting) through 2020.
