October 10, 2013 - Nearing end of drinking window, but still a pleasurable Cab. Strong tobacco and blackberry, but not the nice, long finish I hope from Cabs...

September 1, 2013 - Really nice, deep, rich cabernet. It's got a touch of dustiness in it, but more super ripe cherries, hints of cranberry, and a bit of leather/cedar to balance the fruit. This is drinking really well right now - didn't seem to be quite as on last legs as others have implied although I'd be drinking in the next year or two.
