Outstanding surprise. Wasn’t expecting much but got a lovely mature cab showing secondary flavors with fully integrated tannins and still some acid in the finish. Was skeptical on first taste but 30 mins in the glass and it was singing.

i have to say, opened this on a whim, had sort of been forgotten in the cellar and rediscovered. PnP, outstanding. lovely aged cab, soft tannins, and a surprising amount of mellow fruit, with maybe a touch of vanilla, absolutely enjoyable and a lovely surprise. well made wine.

- Garnet color and aromas of raspberry and blackberry. It's balanced with a medium/full body. Satin-Like texture with a medium finish - Berries on the nose. Soft tannins. Still very drinkable.

Thought that I held onto this one too long, but it held up surprisingly well. Nice change of pace to have a new world cab with lower alcohol content (13%). Agree with cedar and dark berry nose. The finish was pleasant and tannins were very fine.

Past its prime, went down the kitchen sink.
