Drinks like a higher end cab, without the big ticket price. Could do with several more years in the cellar. Noticed the alcohol on this one more than previous Argentums. Not a bad bottle, but not as good as the 00 Argentum.

Very smooth and silky texture, with deep, rich, sweet plum/cherry fruit. Fairly concentrated, with quality fruit reminiscent of more expensive Napa cabs. Limited structure and mostly a one trick pony.

Decanted for 1 hour. Medium color. Very nice balance from start to finish. Much better than last year's. Smooth finish at the end and wine got better the longer it was open.

Seems a little extracted this time, still got a nice plush mid-palate but there's something on the tip of the tongue

Soft, red fruit, a little tannin. Enjoyable wine

Approachable but obviously a cali cab. Nice fruity berries on the nose with a decent, balanced structure to the palate.

Yum, continues to impress. Smooth, integrated, full bodied right after opening.

drinking really nice right now; wasn't sure this could improve, but it's showing more weight, flavors, and a longer finish.

Great value with using the second crush of the fine Delectus grapes from their premium botles. Mostly smooth and silky without the complexity.
