This wine has changed dramatically since our last taste in 2011 and sadly this is our last bottle! It must have peaked because this is a beautiful California cabernet. No flaws. No sediment. Dark garnet color. Beautiful dark floral and fruit nose. Full of flavor. Low tannin. Low acid. Medium alcohol and a medium finish. Paired perfectly with barbecue ribs. Drink up!

Friday Night Double Blind Tasting $40+ (Bin 75): Dark core, opaque, light garnet rim; vanilla, plum, blackberry, green pepper, cocoa, slightly grapey on the nose; rich palate, sharp finish, blackberry, sweet wood, vanilla, clove, green pepper, cedar; ok, probably needs more time to come together.

This wine is done. No character, no fruit, no finish. Tastes like a smooth value wine.

Surprisingly not as good as remembered. Balance or tannins just off. Perhaps needs time?
