I open the 2008 last week and it was perfect. First spi was not perfect it needed air but man once it opened up it was great. Very well rounded yet smooth bold had all the qualities a good cab should. I wouldn't let this one sit to much longer as it may fall after another yr. — 9 years ago
Crisp light balanced tannins, notes of green apple. Once it's open and warms up a bit keeps a beautiful balance of acid and tannins but gets more buttery with temperature. Sorry killer with cheese and nuts. It's a great food wine. Totally worth every penny and more. All in all great bang for your bucks — 4 years ago
It was much lighter than I expected. It feels like it has fallin. The text was more flat. Still some nice floral notes left mild raspberry. — 5 years ago
This vintage was disappointing in my opinion. It was a dry not very complex cab. Mount Veeder is generally known for having very complex cabernets. This particular vintage and wine Mt Brave was something I feel after a glass or two will give me heartburn. It is approachable for amateur wine drinkers who aren't looking for something with a lot of depth. — 9 years ago
Really fresh, very even not very buttery has a crisp light floral notes.We were fortunate enough to eat it with beef tartare. Beef tartar ingredients were capers spicy Dijon mustard, shallots and a raw egg yolk. Main course was monkfish with grilled onions, garlic garlic, lemon thyme and mold and salt. Paired fantastic — 4 years ago
I got thos wine in November as a gift from my co worker who drinks tequila. I think it was drinkable for some over the edge for others. Dark chocolate and fruit on the nose smells more like a port. It was soft just falling so drink it. I wasn't sure how it was stored but I would drink meow — 7 years ago
Opened on day one needed to open up to acidic. Drank on 2nd night and it was a earthy chocolate on the nose. Flavors were bold but very smooth definitely a fine wine with our balsamic glazed chicken dinner. — 9 years ago

Met the wine maker at Safeway today...delightful fellow. Reminded me of a cop but in a good way😉
He signed the bottle and sent me on my way. Got home to enjoy it with a penne pasta and stuffed mushroom dish. It has a very mineral front initial taste smooths out to a nice balance and a slight hint of butteriness. Would pair fantastic with oysters or any kind of shellfish dish. Also I think a cream sauce pasta it white wine sauce. It's a bit big for a white great for food not your porch wine. — 2 years ago
