Purchased but never added to inventory from San Diego Wine Company back in 06? Re from staff. Held onto it in cellar. Popped and let breath for an hour before 2012 Passover dinner with family. Big beautiful nose of red n black fruits. Sweet napa cab profile on palate, similar to bouquet. Some sediment noted at end of bottle. Sweet fruit compared to the 06 Hall we drank side by slide. Tannins present but soft with some nice structure to it. Drink or hold for short term.

Elhers Estate Cabs have become a perennial go to wine for me. Always precisely made and packed with good stuff. This on e is no different. Nose of cassis and crushed cherries. Palate shows some prettiness in its display of red/black fruits. Balance is near spot on. his has some great depth and elegance that really makes it stand out. Pure cassis with minor hints of coloa, saffafras and dark chocolate. Fully resolved and in a great spot right this moment. Finish is long and retains the purity and bright fruit. Nice bottle of Cabernet.

Excellent wine, warming, and inviting. A dialed back fruit bomb with agreeable spice notes. Pleasant in all regards.
