Deep purple in color (I can only see light through the edges of the glass); cassis, black cherries, and graphite on the nose; medium acidity; high tannins; tastes like raspberries, blackberries, hibiscus, wet gravel, and a hint of black pepper with a long fruity finish. I love this wine. Nellie doesn't Iike it. — a month ago

My pick for their best 13 wine when I barrel tasted all their wines. It doesn’t disappoint years later. So much, lush, ruby, richer & riper than the 05 Lynch Bages. Night & day different. The fruits fall into black currents, ripe, lush, velvety; blackberries, very dark raspberries, black plum, dark cherry skin, raspberry notes as it opens, raisins, tarry notes, dark spices, anise that falls into black licorice, , dry tobacco, barrel shavings, melted caramel, dark chocolate, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, bright graphite notes, most clay, true Rutherford, dust dry herbaceous notes, mid to dark berry cola, dry brush, tree bark w/ a touch of sap, crushed, dry rock, volcanics, dry soil with sand mixed in, violet frame with fresh & whitening, dark, purple and red florals framed in violets & lavender, perfect, rainfall acidity and well balanced, structured finish with nice tension, polished w/ Orchestra strings over the top, velvety, finish that lasts two-minutes. As good as I expected. A nice follow up to the 05 Lynch Bages. Corn from my organic garden. Ten or more years of life left. — 9 months ago

This wine is more about the single-vineyard terroir than the fruits. It has earthy and mineral flavors. it opened up after an hour of decanting. I prefer the multi-vineyard Diamond Mountain Cabernet from this producer. — 4 days ago
