Testing quite nice after 17 years. This 2007 vintage from this noted California cab producer was quite impressive. The harmony between tannins and fruits still very much evident. I might even guess that it may have a few more years on it. Nice treat. The last of my Mercury Head. Sigh…..

This came across as a Zin versus a Cab for us. Usually love this but it wasn’t shining for some reason. The Carter crushed it.
