  The nose was subdued at first but it grew and this was a lovely Cabernet that was developed and really quite substantial.

  This Sonoma Cab is aged and ready to drink now! It is dark garnet colored with a lighter purple rim. Initially, the nose was musky earth, and funky herbs. Over time, this blew off, and dark fruit appeared. The wine tastes fruity, mostly blackberries and currents, and is medium bodied. It idrinks nicely and has a moderate finish with well integrated tannins. Overall, not a big, bold, over the top California Cabernet, but well crafted and an excellent buy at under $20 a bottle. I wish that I had more bottles, because everyone really liked it.

  There just wasn't much to this wine. Insignificant nose, even after breathing for about 3 hours, a touch of fruit at first, but it faded away quickly and left no finish to speak of.

  Good wine, still tannic...but will more age make it better...I don't think the fruit will last.
