Popped and poured. No sediment to speak of. Raspberry, sour cherry, plum, and a bit of forest floor on the palate. Full bodied and nicely balanced. A bit of sweetness on a medium finish.

Lush and ripe black and blue fruit on the palate, blackberry, plum, cassis with a hint of forest floor and a touch of Rutherford dust. A rich and rewarding Cabernet. Full bodied yet with some of the layers of a left bank Bordeaux. Strong tannic backbone still. My preferred style leans a bit more toward the fruit forward profile of Freemark’s Bosche vineyard but this was very good.

Great wine, and still very youthful. Lush, rich and slightly jammy with deep rich currents and blue fruits. Little hints of the legendary Rutherford dust. Some fantastic acidity on the long finish. Had this wine with T-Bone steaks. Great match.

Loads of ripe (but not overripe) cassis and a hint of spice on the nose. Palate replicates the nose, with nicely integrated and balanced tannins. Good acidity. Streak of minerality and gravel on the finish. Concentrated and bold, but not overdone.

Yummy, fantastic and an other descriptor you can come up with. Beautiful blue fruit on the nose mixed in with a touch of mocha. Rich on the palate with ripe tannins and rich acidity The fin ish is long and beautiful. A great Rutherford cab at its peak.
