Really disappointed. Nice tasting, but lacked any real finish or mouthfeel. There has been a lot of buzz about this wine - and TRB as winemaker - which, in my opinion, does not hold true. It was really flat and certainly not inline with other similar priced wines.

I haven’t opened one of these in quite a while, and had sort of forgotten about it. This is really delicious. Excellent blueberry and blackberry fruit accented by fresh herbs and cedar. Luxurious, refined mouth feel.

Delicious cab. Has a really nice minty/eucalyptus note that gives it a lovely freshness.

Wow, was there a lot going on with this one. Big ripe dark fruits, mocha, earthy.
