  Opened for an hour (no decant). This cabernet has developed into an excellent wine in all aspects. Impressive depth, complexity, deep rich cherry, long-lasting finish. Tannins and acid are still present and nicely balanced. Easily one of the best cabs we've tasted in several years.

  Drank with steak dinner at the Beacon Street Moo in Boston. Like other comments, sediment in neck. Waiter decanted through glass gizmo that also aerated the wine. Wine tasted much better after aeration. Wonderful clear flavor, limited boquet. Lacks the minty flavor found in many cabs.

  Not decanted but filtered through a Vinturi due to sediment in the neck. Open nose of blueberry and cassis.
  Structured but also very pretty. A pleasure now but should hold for five years plus.

  This wine has aged onto an extraordinarily elevated level of great Cal Cabs! All previous notes are excellent and we would just add the finish is spectacular at this point in this wines maturity!

  Plenty of sediment around the bottle neck on corking. Did a double decant after a bottle rinse. Tannin is softening up, great drinking now.
