This was pretty good. Rich and typically Californian but a nice grippy dry edge on the finish. As it opens up gets a little more typical and plenty of cassis, dark fruits and rich sweet core. There is a menthol nose and taste and also some green pepper which normally could detract but it shrowded in sweet rich fruit so is masked. Certainly one I’d be happy to have a fair few bottles of but not drink all the time.

Opened for 2 hours before drinking. Great example of a CA cab. Very nice fruit. Could have held another year or two per my wife. Too bad it's the only one I had.

Drinking great right now. Opened in the morning, drank at night. This has grown much better with age.
