Threw a bunch of sediment so I would recommend decanting. Otherwise consistent with previous bottle. Fantastic bottle of cooler climate, high acid, classic styled California cabernet.

Just lovely. This has gotten really nice over the last few years. It's not tasting any older, and if anything it's even fresher. The fruit is an ultra-pure blast of neon-bright pomegranate. I was finding the texture a bit edgy with skin tannin at first, but it turns out it wasn't the tannin at all but there is still trapped CO2 in the wine. Give it an aggressive decant and it goes down easy like Sunday morning.

Bright crimson color. Nose of tart blackberry, plum, cherry pie, fresh herbs, a bit of pencil shaving. Really pretty and no real overt sign of oak anywhere on the nose. Similar flavors on the palate with just a hint of pyrazine but really dominated by juicy dark red fruits. Mouthwatering acidity, medium tannins and body. Smooth mouthfeel and long finish. Fantastic cabernet that is made in a more restrained style which I love.

Solid Cab with more of an Old School flair. Liked a lot.

This was fantastic. No detailed notes but the wine was complex and delicious. More on the red fruit spectrum, earthy, great acidity.
