This is well done. Vibrant mountain fruit. Rather old world in its attributes. Would love to try it in 10 years.

Generous, balancing pure, ripe fruit notes on the nose and palate with firm acidity and the concentration.

An all time favorite, I keep going back to the wine, this is how a CA Cab should be. Old school. Mind boggling.
