Bought 4 bottles on auction — the first two we opened were sulfur / burnt popcorn / wet dog. Bought from a reputable buyer so these bottles may just be toast for 2009 Aligoté

Really enjoyed this Cabernet. Not a huge fan of California Cabs, but this was non-traditional. Dark garnet color, nice fruit/spice nose, dark black cherries and smokey meat on the palate. Loved the smokey / funk that it had, particularly on the long finish. Definitely my new fave for Napa Cabs. Really well done, tons of life left, decanted for 45 min and was very drinkable. Opened nicely as time went on.

88 pts. Nice, vibrant, good acid, not too sweet, enjoyable on a humid day on Cape Cod
