Blueberries, currants, licorice, tobacco. leather, coffee and hints of spice in the nose. Plums, black currants, and chocolate in the flavor. Very nice wine but just missing the "wow" factor. Medium to long finish.

Beautiful nose, dark chocolate cherries, and a hint of purple flowers. Tannins have fallen, very smooth, but fruit is still alive couple with high alcohol content. Nose and palate combined, we decided the best description was Cella's chocolate covered cherries, plus rum; or rum raisin ice cream minus the ice cream. Some spice left as well. I really enjoyed this, I think the high alcohol coupled with the mellow tannins were not Thomas's favorite.

Classic CA cab, holding up really nicely. Still has a lot of fruit on it, possibly drinking perfectly now before the flavors of a longer age take over the fruit, right in the middle now. Also, cedar, tobacco, damp soil on the nose. Was terrific with a skirt steak.

Plastic cork - hard to remove. This bottle not as good as last bottle a few days ago. Some fruit, earthy, balanced but a touch of funk. Got better with air but not what I expected based on past B&H wines.

Plum, wild berry fruits, glycerin and earth flavors. Smooth and delicious. Drinking nicely.
