Beautiful bottle, mature, clear garnet color, dark red fruit aromas with a hint of wood. On the palate, dark red fruit, mineral, light touch of oak, silky tannins, great structure, full bodied cab. This bottle has been in my 55 degree cellar since I bought it, probably contributed to the excellent quality and aging potential. One bottle left, will drink up soon!

Nice clear ruby red color, no bricking or cloudiness. Red fruit aromas with hints of oak and herbs. Flavors of pronounced fresh red fruit, including red currant, cherry, raspberry and a hint of strawberry, as well as mineral and herbal notes. Medium bodied, intensely flavored, a great food wine with balanced acidity, gentle tannins, silky texture. Love it.

This wine is definitely at its best right now. Deep garnet color, almost opaque. Aromas of dark plum, black currant, graphite, and a hint of spice. On the palate, more dark plum, black cherry, black raspberry, and hints of oak, with a silky, medium-bodied mouthfeel and fine grained tannins. Medium-long finish echoes the black cherry, black raspberry, and hints of graphite, oak, and spice. Very well integrated and balanced - Delicious!!
