Has held up well. Still offering good structure and robust fruit forward Cab, without overwhelming tannins. Paired with New York strip.

Leather, blackberry, some coco on nose. Dark berry, leather, soft tannins.
Fantastic dark cherry aroma. Mild tannin. Little nutty. Short finish.
Very big and very tastey. Lots of fruit. Cherry flavor and a touch sweet. Nice wine
Santa Ynez Valley Tasting Trip - Day 2 (Babcock, Foxen, Koehler, Brander) (Santa Ynez Valley, CA): $50. Similar to the 2010 Block 15, this showed some good Cab character on the nose and palate and was on the ripe side. Enjoyable wine, but I'm not a buyer at $50.
