  The snowden has shown itself well with time. Smooth, nicely integrated tannins and fruit, balanced from front to back, cherry, chocolate, cassis, that nice feel on the palate. Might get better but no reason at all to wait.interesting this is first CT note in 6 years. Either a lot of patient people or everyone drank up. Older napa cabs continue to be risky unless its Togni or Dunn or the like. Will likely drink my remaining bottle by end of year. Currently becoming less interested in how long Cali CS can last

  Not giving much on the nose. Some creamy blackberry fruit but oak dominates. Sharp tannins but decent finish. May have potential to improve with further cellaring. Better on 2nd day and with air.87+

  This thin reaked of brett for the first two hours. It came off on the palate too, just not as strong as the nose. Evolved into a nice and complex Cab with black fruits of cherry and currant, cedar, smoke, and some spice. The wine also fleshes out and the tannins become firm towards the finish. Full bodied and not lacking in structure or intensity, this one will go 5+ years no problem.

  nice, it took a bit to open up but once it did it was very well balanced and easy to drink. Nothing to big just a nice strong fruit with an excelent finish.

  Served at a party with Rib Roast, medium- to full-bodied, some fruit, mild tannins, didn't wow me that much, but a number of my guest loved it.
