13.5% abv. Recent auction purchase. This bottles was in very good shape. An elegant expression of Napa Cabernet. Probably at the beginning of its downward slide as this showed its age with slightly faded fruit. Good mountain Cab character. Wasn't blown away by this, but found it to be very enjoyable.

This wine has aged extremely well and is everything I love about early 2000 White Cottage wine. Drink now or hold 1-2 years. If only WC wines had stayed like this. No Formal Notes taken.

Similar notes to last bottle, dark cherry, smoke and a hint of anise, in a sleek, beautifully structured package. A touch rounder than I remember, but elegant.

Dark, black cherry, cedar, anise, smoke, spice and pepper flavors. Drinking beautifully, even on 2nd night. Balanced, smooth and elegant.

Cedar on the nose. Beautiful fruit right out of the bottle, tobacco, velvet mouth feel, nice finish.
