Brought by Jay B. Aromas of cassis, ripe blackberries, hint of blueberries, earth, leather, hint of herbs - more bass notes noted. Palate is brighter w lots fruit - cassis, cherries, some blueberries - with a hint of earth. Medium tannins and a short finish. Still tastes very primary with little signs of age. Lots of ripe fruit but not over the top.

Would have given 2 more points if this had not been trending down hill. Still a fascinating taste. Medium garnet color with a bit of brick at the rim. Nose a bit musty. Nutmeg, raisin, cassis and as Eric noted, a bit of orange peel the n the palate... not sweet but similar to bitters. Still a delightful and interesting taste.

Beautiful cabernet. Lighter than many napa cabs mostly because it is from sonoma :). Lots of complex flavors light tannins Definitely try again. More like a bordeaux than a typical high end cab.

Decanted for 2.5 hours. Scents of cherry, some tobacco, very smooth. Finish seemed to go on and on.
