Estate Grown St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon

Basically…disappointed. We were ready for a big Cab but this was a bit of a dud. Limited finish and also did not develop much on the palate. 9 years old had expected layers of leather, cigar etc but none of that. Mostly single note and lack of vibrancy. What should I do with the other two bottles I have??

Showing more oak than I’d like which doesn’t play well off the red fruit.

Chocolate and cherry - my favorite combinations in wine!

Very smooth, doesn’t seem initially with a lot of depth but it stands up very well to a steak. Hints of tobacco and smoke. Very well rounded and subtle with hints of spice.

I bit below what I was expecting but still a great bottle of wine.

Tasted great as expected
