Open for business. Cedar nose, nice fruit balanced with tannins. Long finish. Excellent Alexander Valley hillside cabernet sauvignon. Still improving but can be enjoyed now.

Very restrained nose. Straightforward balanced cab. Some cedar gives way to red fruits. Easy to drink, not at all bombastic. Aerated and decanted for 1 hour before drinking. Drink now.

Very closed (to be expected) but opened up just a bit over 45 minutes. Dark ruby, a bit of cedar in the nose. Excellent fruit masked by tannins but a nice long finish. This needs a few years but should be very good.

Medium ruby, opens over 30 minutes or so. Forest floor, rich nose, elegant with a long finish. Probably still improving but delicious now.

A good Alexander Valley Cab. Opened nicely after 30 minutes. Good fruit, probably in its prime window for another 3 years. Good value.
