Oct 21st, 2018A beautiful example of a steak Cabernet but delicious enough to drink on it's own once it opens up fully! Great fruit with just enough dryness. This is a special wine for me as I'm drinking this in honor of Casey and his beautiful boy, Cade!

Jun 27th, 2016Dark ruby, almost purple in colour, lots of fine sediment. The wine offered a complex nose of elder, black currant, cherry, blackberry, chocolate, spices, clove, liquorice, some leather, some tobacco and a charred wood component. On the ripe palate the wine showed elder, black currant, cherry, some blackberry, coffee, chocolate, spices, cinnamon, liquorice and some tobacco, paired with lively medium-plus acidity, medium-plus tannin, notable heat from the alcohol (15.2% ABV) and very good length. The full-bodied wine had good complexity, with well-handled oak, but the alcohol was out of balanced. Inferior to the tight, dense, concentrated, powerful 2007. 91
