My last bottle and it is excellent. Definitely has a characteristic Carmel Valley flavor, similar to what i have picked up on several Smith and Hook wines.

Wow, this bottle was just incredible. Unfortunately, I have only one left. But this was as tasty as any Napa Cab at 1/2-1/3 the price. It had lots of dark fruit, vanilla and oak, but soft tannins. A definite keeper. the 2014 was not as good as this vintage.

Very nice, very rich and definitely characteristic of Carmel. This is very similar in flavor to some Smith and Hook cabs I have had in the past. Excellent with tones of oak and vanilla.

This bottle was exceptional. Dark fruit, sprinkling of oak, full mid palate, lingering finish.
