Very rich California cab just now beginning to develop some secondary notes. Pencil box, hint of cassis. Still has a strong tannic backbone and could use a minimum of an hour of air.

This just isn't quite ready for prime drinking yet. The bottle is enjoyable now, but the fruit remains still closed down a bit. I remember trying this at the release party and it was such an exuberant, well-structured wine, but it closed down within a few years and hasn't fully reemerged yet. Opening my next bottle in 2019. Rameys often take a long time to reach their ideal drinking window.

For those who have been waiting patiently for this wine to develop, your patience has paid off. Rich and delicious!

Still not ready. Decanted for an hour but still quite closed.

Nice wine, but we have had better Cabernet's for less. May need more time to age to fully develop. Had with lasagna.
