45+ minute decant. Dark red color. Tight nose of dark fruit. Tar, blackberries, and ample tannins on the palate. Green elements on the finish, which was unattractive. Seems past prime.

Awesome as always. I prefer this to the higher end Vineyard 29 wines. The age really helps shape and refine this. Very Bordeaux like, which is my style. Dark purple color. Blackberries and dark cherries. Medium depth. Medium plus finish. Great QPR at time of purchase.

One of our favorites with some of our favorite friends! Bold as always but elegant on the tongue and an extremely long finish. Can't go wrong with this wine!

Simply a great, unique Cab! Nice nose, soft blackberry tones, with a solid, bold finish. Definitely a "go to" wine!

Lots of depth, on the drier side. Tastes expensive.
