An awful lot like the 2006, if only a bit more restrained. Nose of meaty spice, dark herbs, warm wood and thick berries. Palate contains all of these things with a solid and sturdy tannin base. A nice high cocoa percentage dark chocolate layer as well. Very enjoyable. PJG: 89-90

Just a nice Mountain Cab with a dark and red fruits dominating the front. Some slight vanilla and lavender on the mid. I drank this too early, wait at least 3 more years. Will buy more .

Interesting cab. with more complexity then I expected. Usual fruit and aromas, had a slight herbal edge but didn't come across as green. Went very well with the grilled steak.

Not that good initially. Way too tannic. Got much better later on. I think this one needs to lay down for a while.

Rich and extracted with extremely ripe plum and black cherry notes. a metalic, vegetal finish with a little too much heat. Out of balance
