Lots of Wines and Liquor with the neighbors (Our home): I liked this but this is more of an AFWE styled Cab. Never had it before but I would suspect a good amount of Cab Franc in it. Purple in color. The nose has black cherries, bell pepper, tobacco and spice. On the palate, this has a lovely texture. Showing some complexity. Black cherries, bell pepper, and tobacco continue. There was some left which I tried on Day 2. It was still good but a bit greener. Not sure how much is the style and how much the vineyard.

Family Winemakers 25th Anniversary Tasting, I remember their first at the Hyatt Embarcadero. This wine was my first time tasting but I will buy it for sure, nose of currants, blackberry, baked goods, and earth, more of he same on the palate, big fruit and well blended, great big body, long, flavorful finish. Composed of 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 13% Petit Verdot.

Very nice bright nose. Flavors of cedar, cigar box. Long, lingering finish. Very refined.
