Wonderfully fruity nose belies the dryness of the wine. Drank over 2 days. Better on the second day. Need a long decant to soften the tanins. Could stand a few more years in the cellar. Agree with JLP - chewy some spice.

Dusty, black fruit, complexity towards the middle, really well integrated and subdued... probably would have called it a left bank Bordeaux if tasted blind except maybe for the softness of the tannins... overall a nice CA Cab that even a pretentious hipster wine aficionado (like myself I guess) can appreciate.

Earthy, bitter sweet cocoa is the dominant flavor. Minimal tannins, sour cherry.

Needs a long decant to soften the tannins. Wonderful cab from Gunlach, as can be expected. Love this

Long decant, chewy with some spice. Nice, but short finish
