Magnum. Let open up for 45 minutes. This Sonoma cabernet was superb. Shared with friends at a dinner party and everyone thought it was delicious. Winery still has library magnums left of the 05 and I might just have to order one to replace. Had a silky texture and plenty of fruit left, made you want to take another sip. I always think I can taste the olives from the estate.

4th Saturday Brown Bagger (Our house): Inky purple color. Notes of black currant, spice, plum and vanilla. Balanced, with cassis, black fruit, vanilla and oak spice notes on the palate. Medium- to full-bodied, with firm but approachable tannins. On the young side. Good, but nondescript; I like this, but couldn't tell you where it was from. Drink now-2018.

Opened a magnum. Still plenty of shelf life; needed some aerating to allow it to open up. Dry, but a very nice cab.
