This was my last bottle of the 2009 Reserve. This wine is fruit forward with balanced tannins and drinks well. I believe this wine and Vina Robles in general represent some of the best bargins out there. If you don't have any of their wines, do yourself a favor and get something to try.

Decanted for 30 min thru Menu aerating decanter. Big dark fruit, but reasonably dry and tending toward earthy.

Big solid cab but still needs more time ... even for a 09.

This wine is clearly too young, but it still was great. Solid fruit and tannins. Needs a little time to integrate, but it is going to be a winner.
