January 28, 2010 - Opened my last bottle of this last night. It still has plenty of life. There is fruit and body. Overall a nice bottle of wine. I agree with a previous comment that it is probably not improving but it hasn't begun to decline either.

June 14, 2009 - Had this last night with some concern that it would be failing but it is still tannic enough to last another couple of years. Lovely color and bouquet. Flavors had enough complexity to be interesting. Medium-full bodied. A nice wine.

June 6, 2009 - I really enjoyed this bottle. Relatively low tannin for a cabernet, but in the expected range for a Sonoma cab of this age. Very nice fruit flavors with a good finish. I always thought the CT drinking window on this wine was way too short and it is clearly not over the hill. That said, it is probably not improving.
