Lovely fruit-forward wine, with delicious fruit (dried cherries, pomegranate) and slight mineral connection to the earth - all hiding the high alcohol(14.5%). Enjoyed with roasted pork loin, roasted potatoes and carrots with herbs. Get more - drink over the next 5 years.

Enjoyed this cab with a med-rare filet mignon, wild rice pilaf, and steamed asparagus (with carrot shavings). chocolate mousse cakes for dessert.
This wine has very soft tannins, and a pleasant savory taste - not earthy - but rich in cocoa/mocha and blueberries. On the palate, lots of fun flavors in every part of the mouth, with friendly fruit and aromas. I wish I had more.

Wonderful, fruity, complex wine. After over a decade, bright fruit and a great expression of both fruit and terroire from Anderson Valley. Had with eggplant parmigiana, and a torte with dark chicken meat, sausages, apricots and apples. Totally yummy. Red berries, strawberries. Enjoy with anything. When is Anderson Valley going to receive its due?
