2009. Similar notes to the 2005. Less eucalyptus notes, more dried fruit. Inky color, iron minerality, cassis driven, pretty fruit, tannins still grippy. Tobacco and mint on the finish. Cork disintegrated while opening, but juice intact! 😁 — 24 days ago

Delightful Washington Cabernet Sauvignon ($25) with Pat’s grilled filet mignon. Nice nose, rich with dark fruit, medium bodied, and long finish — a month ago
Good, smooth, but a bit too sweet. — 2 months ago
I bought this from barrel tasting at Nickel & Nickel’s luncheon futures, Entrecote En Baguette. Tasted 20 Cabernets and this and the Sori Brico were the two Sofia and I purchased.
Dark currants, medium plus tannins, anise to black licorice, dry leather & tobacco, dry herbs and thick, dark florals that are framed in violets and lavender. — a month ago
Beautiful and very well rounded. Less sweet than I usually like but still so tasty. Very full on the nose- hints of flush red fruit. Nice acidity and tannin balance. — a month ago
Very nice! Slightly crisp, but rich, with noticeable botrytis. — a month ago

I had to have this bottle again. Second try, stil as beautiful as I remember. Great concentration, refined textures and undeniably delicious. The American Merlot GOAT. — a month ago
