  This was drinking very well. Lots of eucalyptus on the nose when first opened and then broadens out a bit. Tannins resolved but a bit of structure hanging on. Drink in the next 3-5 years

  Opened up after an hour. Very nice. Clear, fruity, with a lot of power.

  Literally found one last bottle while cleaning out my parent's house in my Dad's cellar, didn't expect much but WOW. Just exactly what I want from my CA cabs - smooth, well integrated with great structure and finish. The fruit is still there at all points, with a great finish. Consumed most after 3 hours and it was a pleasure, wish I would have had some steak to enjoy with it.

  Good wine but just misses being excellent. Not nearly as good as the 2006 vintage the wine has a lot going for it but is slightly disjointed and leaves you thinking what could have been. Given the 2005 vintage and my experience with the 2006 vintage I had high expectations for this, good but disappointing.

  I found this to be quality, and a lot of cherry. I was not overwhelmed by this wine, however.
