Outstanding. It was worth the long wait. 2007 fruit still extremely bright, soft tannins and oak. Wonderful

Easy to enjoy already which is true of most 12's. ripe and juicy plums, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, touch blue fruits, spice-box, light earthiness (crushed brown volcanics), dry florals, good acids & round & ripe finish.

What a find! One lonely 2010 bottle at Von's in San Diego on "super sale". Perfectly balanced and velvety. My only lament is that it is gone.

Not quite. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good drink but more vegetal and less harmonious than one would hope. It’s ready but doesn’t wow

Needs a decant, but after that it has nice oaky flavors and is very smooth

Not an overly big cab, perhaps I should have decanted more. But a classic Napa cab that held up with a flavorful dinner. One of the original Napa cab producers.

Good not great like other vintages, more fruit on this vintage. Still a nice big Cab, decanted for 4 hours, should have done more. Not even sure if still young or just the vintage...
