What happens when you place a well made cab to rest for five years - magic - I had this wine when the wine first came out / it was good but just need some time to mellow - mellow if did - wow this wine is drinking well and a pnp - maybe 5 more years but don’t sit on them for a long time - color out the bottle was deep rich purplish red and swirled in the glass and the smell was delightful- just elegant yet jammy fruits inviting your nose for another deep inhale - the taste was delicious and rich - black and refreshing currants with creamy textures - but the finish was exotic - loved ever 20-30 seconds of it - all smiles last night with my friend @R Bowers

Such an amazing wine - Cabernet Sauvignon is big bold and beautiful- instinctively will be out front and center - fruit and taste and finish

My words are badass in a glass and stunning. The smell is so "wig" - look up what it means according to Katy Perry - it is that good - expressive aromatics meld into dark red stone fruits - just plain classy

After two hours / savory aromatics, perfume and depth. There is so much going on in the glass that words are not enough

I love everything Andy Erickson does and definitely here - bravo - big wide open smile tonight!!!!

100% cab - I know it is young and I feel like I am robbing the cradle - but heard some good things so decided to break protocol - after one hour of decanting it is still young - cannot wait to try again in five years - three words to describe - big bold and beautiful - but why stop there - the detail notes are great expressive aromatics smell and taste - dark red color from dark red fruits - great palette, legs, depth and structure - tannins are refined - this will only get better as it rest more - enjoy - and all Smiling here
