(Hourglass Cabernet Sauvignon) The finely grained midpalate is balanced by lively acidity and a refined finish. This wine shows nuances of black licorice, mint, eucalyptus, toffee, crème de cassis, and pomegranate. Winery Spotlight: Robert Foley Vineyards

A little past prime but there is still fruit and some silky tannin.

Very deep garnet color. Pronounced aromas of smoke, wood, forest floor, wet leaves, cooked blackberries, tar. Fully developed wine. Palate is dry with pleasant, medium acidity, refined tannins, medium alcohol, medium plus body and pronounced flavors of cured meat, game, prunes, cedar, tobacco box. Finish is disappointing: medium at best. Very good wine, in the perfect place now. Drink up. May age for a 2, maybe 3 more years before becoming too old.

Deep purple red color. Heady aromas of black fruits, dark chocolate and wood spices. Ripe, fully integrated fruit in the mouth with great depth and length. Thick and persistent on the palate. For most people this outstanding wine was the WOTN and smoked the 2010 Ch. Margaux.

Ready to drink! Do not wait any longer. The wine has lost some of the fruit and replaced with fine cigar. All together it lived up to expectations and I think the reviews below are a little too harsh. This wine isn't a 96-100pt wine but it is defiantly a very well made wine.

Just starting to flatten out and lose the fruit, but still good.
