  Opened and decanted from magnum; wine was just spectacular from start to finish. Sleek, supple, sexy, graphite, luscious color, blackberry & cherry aromas, fine structure, and amazing finish/length. A serious WOW in a glass, and incredibly memorable.

  Medium garnet color. A bit of perfume on the nose and light red fruit, cherry and raspberry, on the palate. A smooth finish with a hint of spice on the back palate. This is the second bottle I have had. The last was a year ago and I do not believe this is improving. This is a light, silky cab, reminiscent of a Spring Mtn. wine but not terribly complex. I found the 96 Freemark Bosche and the 06 Bootleg to be more interesting. Wish I had tried this in 2009 or 2010.

  Deep garnet color. A bit perfumey on the nose, much like a Margaux, with some evidence of spice. Opened a bit sweet with notes of raspberry and cherry. After about 30 minutes this smoothed out significantly to become much more elegant and balanced with notes of leather, spice and tobacco with silky tannins. A more delicate contrast to the big 2001 Del Dotto served with wonderful seasoned NY strip with chipotle mashed potatoes and broiled mushroom at May St. cafe in Pilsen.

  This wine pours a dark, rich maroon color and has sort of a brooding nose right off the bat. Aromas of rich cherries and black fruits mixed with spices fill the glass. The palate is just pure, luscious silkiness, with rich black fruits, soft caressing tannins as well as a long finish. This is a poster child for what a elegant, smooth and classy California Cab should taste like. I think it can go for more years to come, but it is drinking so well right now that I don't know that I'd wait or risk it.
