First of six bottles that have been quietly aging in a cranny of my cellar. Definitely time to give it a taste as it approaches a level of maturity, but I can't say it won't improve over the next 5-10 years. This is a wine that will almost always over-perform!

Decanted and it took a good thirty minutes for the nose to open. Silky smooth with a core of plum and black fruit. Plenty of dark notes coffee tobacco and anise capped by a respectable finish. Drinking beautifully now and it may not show any further development, but I think it still has four to five years left.

A really decent Cabernet with just a hint of merlot and Petit Verdot. A well made wine!

this was a very nice cabernet from Napa from a long time producer that should satisfy if not mystify most.
