Smooth and balanced with well integrated, comfortable oak. Deep flavors, lingering finish. Chocolate mocha and blackberry syrup. Very nice.

Wow. Huge and classic Cali cab. Lots of beef on the nose and body on the palate. A relief after the bust just behind it. Drinking well.

Not overly tannic but felt almost clenched up. Just too young and a bit closed I guess. Right now, it shows good blue/black fruits, some tannins and pretty dense.

Big, silky & smooth. Cherries in a sauna. Like an executive workout for grapes.
