Herb, dirt, pepper, spice on nose, primal, unusual for a 2012 cab. Medium fruit, followthrough of the nose, smooth, good, unusual. This is quite enjoyable and interesting. Now strawberry and jammy (too much--hold to see if it mellows out).

We didn't taste much cedar, but the knolliness stood out. We thoroughly enjoyed this robust and balanced Cabernet with our delicious steak!

As I put my sweet baby girl to bed after a looong day, snuggling with her in her new "big girl bed", I found a stray eyelash on her cheek. Maybe I'm alone in this, but for as long as I can remember I have been superstitiously transferring these from one finger to another...and if I blow the lash off while making a wish, "they" say it will come true. I tried wishing this was a 2007 Screaming Eagle - or that I could magically be beamed onto David Lentine's Napa trip for the night (ha!). Alas, no such luck. Seriously thou, with my kids' lashes, I have always wished the same thing: "may you have a wonderful life." But I made this addition: "may you always have the courage to be yourself." #inthistogether #overturnHB2 #onlylove

Heavy, thick. The start is brightly sharp (?), like sparkling rich flavors up front move on for 10 seconds until it all catches and the cocoa, and dusty tannins envolope the back of my tongue. My girlfriend tasted it and just said "tastes kinda like chocolate covered strawberries."

Totally love this wine right up there with my big bold smooth cabs. Low tannins just yummy. can't wait to visit the vineyard next time I'm in Napa Valley.
