This had a cool climate personality thread running throughout that I loved. Talk at the table about too much barrel, but the depth it added really played well with this wines more herbaceous and spiced side to me.

Heavy tannins at 9 years but also significant fruit purity and depth. An astonishingly well made wine. Enjoy now or reward yourself with patience. 5 years will ratchet this up approachability wise two fold.

It’s as sexy and complex as it was during blending and before bottling...I look forward to tasting it again in 5 years.

Will make it simple . A textbook example of the type of California cab I enjoy. Plummy , dusty, sweet tannin and well hidden alcohol.
