March 31, 2012 - ugh, sadly held this too long, and didn't heed my own advice. this is pleasant in that it had no "rough edges" of a newer wine, but everything is pretty much gone from this wine. the slightest hint of fruit, but not much complexity. just the calm of drinking mature wine, but nothing more than that.

October 3, 2009 - This wine is in it's twilight time now, so if you have any, drink it now!! Even though this wine's peak has past by now, it still tasted like it's near the apex of it's drinkability. It was mature, the tannins were totally broken down, and it tasted like a good California cab should taste. Being slightly over the hill, the finish died off a little quicker than one might like. color faded from Ruby to a muddled brown, red, but still tasted great.
