Opened to breathe in Melograno. Fragrant nose, on the palate lots of black and blue fruit. Very tasty. This was my favorite of the six mid-level CA cabs we tasted tonight. Looking at my previous note from 2015, I see this wine has improved substantially over the past 4 years.

Nice mountain wine. Absolutely beautiful nose, but it didn't fully translate on the body. Came across somewhat one dimensional, but paired nicely with a mushroom ragu.

This exhibits deep purple color, full body and full forward flavors of blueberries, black berry and red currants with dark mocha, cassis and hints of stone fruit, toasty oak and rich supple tannins on a long silky elegant finish.

Pnp. Lots of blue and black fruit, wet concrete, and mild tannins. Great aging potential.
