Another 3rd day wine with 3 hours decant. First day very disappointing. Makes me think how many wines I’ve had that I just didn’t give the appropriate time.
Fantastic steak 🥩 wine

2007 vintage poured in 2021. Well balanced Cab with a pleasant dry finish. Outstanding for a Sonoma Cab.

Exquisite Cabernet. Notes of dark fruit but balanced by age.

Big, bold and full of life. Red fruits and chewy tannin. Drink or hold for a few more it's got plenty of life.

Excellent Cabernet - rich and flavorful in all respects. This wine could cellar longer but if you like your cabs big and bold this is a wine for you! Drink and enjoy now if you have some available!!
