State Lane Vineyard Proprietary Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Mom loved this wine and noted that *maybe* she does like Cabs. Really wanted a second bottle but that unfortunately was not possible.

1.5 hour decant (some cloudy sediment). A majestic dark ruby red color with little bricking. On the nose: popping notes of earth, olive tapenade, creme de cassis, red berries, pencil shavings. Taste: A smooth, semi rich medium to full body wine with muted flavors of red plum, currant, leather, sour cherry, pepper......a gravely cedar medium plus finish and just a slight tannic kick. Enjoy, and drink em if you got em!!

Needs several hours to really open up but just a beautiful wine. I would let these rest another 5+ yrs

This seemed a lot riper than the more recent vintages.

Slow ox for 7 hours. Absolutely gorgeous. Great red fruit profile, smooth tannins, long finish. Highly recommend giving this air.

Flavor was very consistent with previous years.
