87 Points
Thursday, August 20, 2015 - Powerfully extracted fruit with blackcurrant and blackberry. Firm tannins. Heavy application of new oak. This is a big wine with dense fruit, firm tannins and lots of oak. I'd give it a few years to integrate, but right now it's disjointed.

Mo., gave it an even higher score and described the wine as "medium-bodied." What's full-bodied for him, blackberry jam? This is about as full-bodied a Cab as you can find in Paso. Your "powerfully extracted" description is spot on.
