  Drinking at peak - Really lovely Rutherford bench California Cabernet. The tannins are soft but holding it all together. Luscious secondary flavors, particularly sous bois.

  Lots of plum and red fruits, surprisingly vibrant with nice lift and juicy acidity. Very much an Old World style, food-friendly Cab.

  It couldn't have been more enjoyable. It was not decanted but was enjoyed slowly over time with proper glassware. It had a great nose immediately. The color was good. The taste was mature, classic Napa with a good balance of older fruit and structure. If I had more, I would drink them now. Warning; the cork was very fragile.

  This one was past its prime. After the vinturi it was better but the fruit just couldn't fight its way through to the level expected. Not oxidized or bad, just a bit far gone.
