I thought this wine was really outstanding. Not sure what happens to it from here. Have found that older quality California cabs are drinking nicely, but differently than our traditional expectations.

Maybe a year or 2 past it's prime - tannins were almost gone, but still paired well with a beef tenderloin. Great with the meal and afterwards. Beautiful crimson color, full body, smooth texture. Just a bit of sediment.

Big nose and really ripe fruits on the palate. Drinking nicely now, and probably good to consume in the near future (at least for my liking). A lot of black currant and plums/prune flavors. Smooth and nice strong finish. Well balanced and delicious with a nice steak.

Light body. Still tasting fresh fruits even after 10 years.
