Did not live up to my somewhat unrealistic expectations - wonderful cabernet fruit, fully integrated tannins and a pleasant finish. Lacked the "WOW" factor - hard to justify at current prices.

For me, it was slightly over the hill. Ripe vegetable notes and herbs in the foreground, it shows some over-ripeness and I think, that it's past it's prime because of the minestrone-aromas on the palate. Drink!

Brian's party at TRATA. My first bottle of this, and it was quite enjoyable. Nice midweight cab with some herbal secondaries. I thought it was still a bit young and would be better in a few years. So pushing back my drinking window a bit.

Took to a local BYOB. Dark fruit on the nose the palate was dark berries, cassis, tobacco, wood and some spice. A moderate to long finish made it an enjoyable wine.

Surprisingly fresh, even young. Definitely a New World Cab. I might have guessed Washington State blind.
