Hum... This is a second label? This has great structure still at 7 years, well build wine. Slight knock, a bit overripe, not prune, but heading that way. Very good quaffer for the money. I'd have no problem bumping out the drinking window to '14 based on this bottle if you prefer a smooth tannin finish.

Spicy cab (tasting notes described it as cedar smoke spice) that is better on the palate than the nose. This was a pleasant, good wine for a bargain price. 50, 4, 8, 13, 6 = 81 (Good)

5% Cab Franc included in the blend. Aromas of Cabernet fruit; cassis, currants and blackberries. Tannins are somewhat chalky; flavors of red currant, dirt and herbs.
