4/2023. What a cab. Full of flavor. Nice color and fruit. Very nice on the palate.

Earthy damp leaves and rain on the nose. Dark fruit like plum, blackberry, cherry. Some fairly healthy acid and tannins that give it more of a dry finish but not overwhelming so. Opens up nicely as it sits. Was a bit tight when first opened but given it’s a 2017 that’s to be expected.

Dig a fat, well balanced cab? Here’s a treat. Absolutely superb.

This dark full bodied wine is a great compliment with Italian food. It’s dark fruit, leathery texture and deep tannins makes this California can a must have.

Not as good as I was hoping. Flavor wasn’t all that deep.

Dark red with a nose of dark fruit. Blackberries dark cherries currant on the palate. Full bodied and smooth this is a great Cabernet.
