  Took well over an hour to open up, but this big stout boy punches above his weight. Dark ruby in the glass with that messy combination of blackberry, cigarbox, menthol, with a healthy sprinkling of Howell Mountain dust, that we might just as well call eau de bordeaux blend. If this is Ric Forman's second wine from his property, I hope I live to sample his first wine. It's a hot wine from a hot summer, 14.8% abv and not yet covered. I think these should be kept for a while, certainly will be delicious for another decade.

  Not a subtle wine but more subdued than most California Cabs from the last three decades. Perhaps a return to previous form. Alcohol still comes in at 14.5 though, and there is some heat on the finish.
