Solid Cab here. Brought this out at a party we threw, and was well received. No tasting notes other than that there was good fruit, it was smooth, and very likable to everyone that tasted it. Not a 90 pointer, but above average for sure. 87-88 pts.

Clear medium ruby color. Nose of cherry, light oak, herbal, blueberry. Medium weight with soft tannins, with cherry, fresh raspberry, mild oak. Basic, nice.

Too early to drink. Notes of ripe red cherries and cedar. Some bite. Tannins need time to mellow and integrate. Will be wonderful in a couple of years.

Just in from Opimian. A little young perhaps, and has decent aging potential out to at least 2018. The 1 note from the '10 is similar enough to tonight. Nose is a little tight, but light smoke and darker fruit. Palate is dry with med coating tannins. Subtle green peppers then dark plum like fruit. The finish transitions rapidly to add a little smoke/ash to that profile. Decently complex if not a little "unripe" still. I think this will be great for value in a couple of years of careful cellaring. I will wait till 2015 to try next bottle.
