Fascinating -- fruit is very lively, and that's the problem: black fruit dominates, and while there's some structure, the wine isn't particularly interesting. If I had another, I wait a few more years, BION.

Excellent example of a mature californian cabernet. Drinks beautifully now but has still some acidity left. Great nose and I would have scored even higher but lacks a bit in the mid-palate to justify an outstanding score.

Love this. Tastes like an Amarone. Dried fruit, long finish. Wow.
