Ugh.. probably past its prime, but here goes... I bought this strictly because it was West Coast 2013. This cab is inky, almost opaque, with slow thick legs. The nose is nice, black plum, white pepper and orange zest. The first sips, however, kill it. It's thick, inky texture, more like a zin, is a turn off. It lacks acidity, leaving any other traits, good or bad, to the imagination.

This is a luscious wine. On the nose - dark cherry and plum, leather, tobacco and oak. On the palate - dark fruit, oak, cola Nice long finish with velvety tanins. Very nice wine for the price.

Very ripe, perhaps a touch over ripe, perhaps a flawed bottle, resolved tannin, enjoyable.
