Just outstanding. Drank over 2 nights. Plenty of tannins but integrated well with full dark fruits. A fair amount of sediment also. This wine will drink well for a while!

Part of a walk around tasting at Alpine Country Club. Very nice cab, surprisingly open for business. No trace of heat, very good balance of oak and fruit, some upside potential. Score: 93-94. Relative to expectations: ++

Deep ruby color. Pronounced aromas of black berry, plum, dried herbs, tobacco. High tannin, acidity and alcohol (though not “hot”). Pronounced black fruit flavors, and a very long finish. A very big Cabernet not surprisingly, this wine improved several hours after opening. Still a long life ahead of for my remaining bottles.

Good but probably needs to sleep for a couple years. The fruit needs to calm down a bit but overall this is a big & smooth easy to drink cab.
