50+5+12+16+7 Black cherry & plum on nose. Nice acid, balanced tannins with some vanilla and loads of black cherry on palate and finish. Still young and will get better with age.
50+5+13+15+6 Clear and deep ruby color. noted of cedar coffee, cocoa on the nose. Velvety tannins with dill and blackberry and some minerality on the finish.
50+5+13+16+6 Brett, fig, brown sugar, hazel nut on nose. Moderate tannins, blueberry, smoke, with cocoa appearing on finish. Nice but questionable QPR. This was decanted unlike bottle I tasted a few days earlier which was pop and pour.
50+5+12+15+6 Green pepper, vanilla, and dill on the nose. Rough tannins that are disjointed and a very herbacious finish Just green all over. Definitely not a style of cab I prefer. Seems to be a lot of variety between bottles.
50+5+12+15+5 Toast--too much of it on the nose and in the mouth. Dill, nut, cola with a full mouthfeel. This is a very dense wine. Coffee and coacoa on the finish. Overoaked. Too bad as it's got potential otherwise.
