August 10, 2013 - I too was surprised pleasantly by this wine. The color was a light to medium garnet with no real sign of age. The nose was somewhat floral and a bit fruity of the red variety but hard to pin down. The mouthfeel was light and feathery with a silky feminine texture. Yet it was was full of flavors that went well with a variety of cheeses as well as grilled steak and an apple dessert. Very interesting. Flavors were more mineral and flowers and maybe raspberry and quince. A very flexibly luscious wine.

March 3, 2012 - Wine has been in my cellar since I bought it in the 90s. Hadn't had a bottle in about 10 years, almost forgot I owned is. Classic California cab, it's aged very nicely and probably still has a few years left. Very smooth, nice darker fruit, some cedar and dark chocolate on the finish
