April 8, 2022 - Excellent wine.
Temperature is critical to how this wine comes off.
Lower temperatures are loaded with interesting herbs/plastic tastes that eventually resolve and come together, while higher temperatures have fully integrated tastes and softness with lush fruit.
This 2006 hardly shows it's age. It's still a youthful wine.
Color is vibrant and very young.
There is more aging potential for sure.
Quality.
This guy is an amazing experience.
Complexity.
Softness, lushness and length with fruit and herbs.
Worth the penny.
One of the best from the area for sure.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 14, 2018 - A nice Cabernet blend. Dark fruit on the nose. Dark berries, plum, tobacco and a touch of spice on the palate. Finish is medium.

January 8, 2017 - I agree with prior note. The tannins in this wine are fading and its at the end of its life. It was still enjoyable, but I'd recommend drinking what you have soon.

December 18, 2016 - Toward the end of its life but is very well balanced. The fading red fruit is complimented by good acidity and just enough tannins for structure. Smooth and enjoyable.

January 17, 2015 - No hurry with these: plenty of tannins to provide structure to the black and red fruit.
