Could have used some time in the decanter. The wines from this producer are the most Bordeaux-like CA wines I have tasted. Nice tannins, not overwhelming (the CS Reserve is incredible). A little light on the fruit but I expect it to come together in the next few years. At $28 from the winery, this is a very nice buy. I will hold on to the other bottle for at least 3 more years.

Was good but should have drank a long time ago, still held up, very much like a French Bordeaux

Dusty nose of sour cherries and aged beef. Ripe.

Not very special, was much better the last time we had it. One more left, might want to get on it or use it for cooking.
