Clean, bright, lemon peel notes. Some peach and apple creeps in on the palate and finish. Very nice SB!

Buttered popcorn coats the mouth. This dissipates with a little air in the glass, but remains dominant. Well balanced for the heavy oaking, fans of the style will like it, but not my style.

Smooth cherry flavors. A little cola, but a pleasant level, not enough to throw it off.

Rich, smooth. Typical California Cabernet in profile, but very good. Can wait a few years easily, but still very good now.

Heavy graphite, plum, rich cherry. Young and big

Smooth, elegant. Graphite and cherry. Ready to drink now.

Meaty, young, rich, tasty.

Young and reserved, this was very smooth on the palate. Great complex red and dark berries with well integrated oak flavors. Long finish. Sit on it a few years, but if you're impatient give it at least a couple of open hours to really show.

Gotta love Port! Rich, elegant, date and prune flavors with a nice toffee and caramel undercurrent. Long tantalizing finish. This should wait another decade, but still so good. As a bonus treat, our host Trey took a little and poured it over some bleu cheese, mixing them to make a fantastic dip.
