Fairly typical Sonoma County #cabernetsauvignon impressions on the nose, brambly fruit, touch of earth. Notably more dusty fruit on the palate, decent acidity considering how hot that year was. Less of a jam bomb so this #alexandervalley Cab was pretty enjoyable to me. — 14 days ago

This is just so good. Amazing color. Translucent ruby. So alluring, elegant, bit of structure picks as it opens. Punches so far above its weight — a month ago

Super tannic and long finish. Dark color, so much oak it has to be decanted — a month ago

This wine is aging gracefully. Secondary and tertiary notes coming to the fore. Floral/spicy nose that is so fragrant. The cherry has turned dark, supported by more spice, clove, cinnamon. Truly an excellent wine. — 2 months ago

Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, cigar box, lavender and cedar scents. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum and currants with cacao, floral and oaky notes. Fine dusty tannins, long finish ending with fruit, floral, oak and earthy mineral character. Very Nice! Good now but wait about 6 years!! Tasting Sample from restaurant friends!! — 3 months ago
