  • Opened and let sit for two hours and this wine was singing. The nose is all fruit. The palate is blackberry, black cherry and some tobacco. The finish was moderate to long and very smooth. Sadly my only bottle of the 13. A really good wine.

  • Dark red fruit with a touch of black - dark cherry, currants, blackberry, and a little plum. Smooth mid-palate with decent depth but I believe the fruit could use a little more time to open-up which is no surprise in light of its youth. Fairly long finish. Decanted for one hour and drank over another three. Improved some with time. In my opinion, more or less in line with WS's 93 rating with a little more time - I believe another year or so. A great value with previous vintages when you could pick this up for around $50. I knew a price increase was probably coming sooner than later in light of Paul Hobbs' involvement. Still a nice wine but not the value it once was. 100% cab.
