  This is probably the best California Cabernet I've had in 6+ months.
  
  Elegent and silky, with well integrated tannins and juicy acidity that keeps you coming back for the next sip.

  On the nose and palate: vibrant tangy fruit (black cherry/blackberry) buttressed by cabernet greenness (and savory bits like tobacco) and a pleasant mild spiciness.
  
  Incredibly long finish. Bravo
  
  If only those savory bits were bumped up by 25% some and the juiciness (as someone below aptly describes IMO) toned down by 25%. THAT would be something!!!!

  Deep ruby color with a bouquet and flavor of plums and blackberries, currants and toasty oak. Not much in the way of eucalyptus. Good balance with more weight than elegance, but may improve with more time in bottle. All in all, a very pleasant wine.

  Ruby color with a bouquet and flavor of red cherries, black currants, mushrooms, and eucalyptus. Rather firm tannins marring the balance but not likely to improve with age. Limited finesse and depth. Pleasant but easy to forget. Went with the last of a long line of left over Thanksgiving turkey dishes, all dear to my heart as I love turkey.
