  Very nice smoke and cedar aromatics. Crisp purple and fruit of get from Santa Cruz mtns, fine tannins. Just a bit “muddled” on transition into the finish with a mature note—making me wonder if this was always a well kept bottle. Cedar smoke and tobacco on the finish. Seems mature and drinking well. Well kept bottles may be a bit behind this one on advancement.

  Still drinking really well. Medium acidity, nice color, balanced cab. Great value.

  The wine looks purple colored. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like plum and oak. It tastes like oak, plum and black pepper. The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

  A complex, fully integrated tannins, and incredible wine. Sorry it's my last one from this vintage. I have always loved these cabs.

  Re-iterate my 92 rating from last year. It's probably a 90-91 pt wine drinking like a 92. I've had several more of these in the last few months, with a handful left to go. The fruit has mellowed out it is not as jammy as some Cali wines can be. Nice balance of sharp acidity and silky fruit with a little soft tannin in the background. It's drinking at the peak now, it will not improve .... the future holds a reduction in acid until it gets flabby (that's a technical term!). So drink up now. It does benefit a little from a decant and approach it gradually over the first half hour, although I'm sure it's also fine out the bottle if you pop the cork 15 minutes before.
