6 person cab tasting one 1st place vote and mostly middle place with currant and blueberries on the start that turned into heavy spices on the mid and back pallet but the most expensive cab in the tasting by a lot so not impressed for the price compared to the lot but still a high quality wine — 2 months ago

9.5

Blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot & 3% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby color with aromas of berry fruit aromas and herb notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry, currant-like, with tobacco, cacao and smoky oak notes. Fine polished tannins, long finish ending with fruit and earthy mineral tones, almost starting to drink well but will last for the next decade+. — 2 months ago

This wine has aged so beautifully! Smooth tannings, subtle aromas of black cherry, plum, black currant, pencil shavings, dried herbs, chocolate, vanilla, caramel and a hint of mentol.
A wonderful wine for a special occasion. — 19 days ago

Cattail creek wine dinner. An exuberant nose shows dark and ripe fruit aromas of black raspberry, red currant, and black cherry. This full bodied wine has a broad palate that is multilayered with flavors of cocoa, amaretto, and espresso. Paired with pepper crusted beef carpaccio. — 2 months ago

92-93 for me.

Consumed half bottle at pop, then corked for another 4hrs before consuming the rest. No change.

What a beautifully elegant and refined ‘09. The highest compliment I can give this is that it was a simplistic joy. Some wines make it easy to get nerdy and command your attention…some wines are underwhelming and not worth your time. This was squarely in the middle. It was a joy to not feel the need to overthink…it’s exactly what it should be. No bricking at almost 15yrs. Decidedly black fruit heavy (black currant, cassis, underripe blackberries) with a sprinkling of raspberries and black cherries. Aromas of sweet pipe tobacco, dark florals. Integrated on the palate with good structure and acidity…not a massive wine, but it put on a bit of weight/length the longer it was open. Still sporting a fair bit of tannin at the finish, but it’s balanced. Drink or hold. — a month ago

Rim to rim color density. Red and black cherries poke through cedar and sweet tobacco on the nose with dark chocolate chunks, plum, prune and date, toasted sesame, cinnamon, rose petal, and cardamom. Chewy tannins that roll satin-smooth initially, then cassis, black currant and licorice flip the script. Graphite and blackberry frame dark chocolate and mocha-tobacco, oak and black bread.
