Dark ruby. Abundant aromas of dark berries, graphite, green peppers, and chocolate, all in primary colors. Penetrating blackberry fruit on the palate, sweet and juicy, welded frame of strong acids and tannins, long finish. A lovely food wine that wraps itself around roast chicken, butter green beans, salad greens with croutons in a delicious vinaigrette.

Loaded with Brett! What a waste. C’mon guys clean up your winery! Was really looking forward to a nice wine but unfortunately flawed by big time bandaids. Not just a little, loaded with Brett.

Wonderful Cabernet typicity. Terrific traditionally styled California Cab from a venerable and outstanding vineyard. Extremely enjoyable and will only improve over the next decade or more.

14.5% abv. Dark ruby, very aromatic. Ripe plum, graphite, dark chocolate and some mint in the finish. Excellent depth and length and the tannic structure indicates years of improvement ahead. Appears to be just now entering its drinking window - drink or hold.

Nice cabernet with soft tannins and wonderful fruit profile without a heavy-handed oak treatment. Well done.

Really nice and drinking well at this early age. Really came to life on day 2. Suggest another year or nice decant. Great effort.

Drinking window says starting 2020, I made the mistake of opening it. Not showing much, maybe 85 pts for now.
