Not sure how Bob Betz manages to capture elegance, ripe fruit and impeccable balance, but this wine is a perfect example.

2010 vintage. Classic well aged Cabernet with black current, dark fruits, fading structure and a nice finish. In the second half of its drinking window. Drink now.

2010 vintage. This nearly 10 year old wine is in its prime right now. Classic Cabernet with black currents, savory dark fruits with a smooth and tasty finish.

Powerful fruit. Still needs time in the bottle to round the tannins.

Gorgeous aromas of Violets and blackberries. Touch of graphite on the palate. Full bodied with smooth tannins. Deliciously perfect with steak dinner.

2010, a floral, well balanced and accessible at young age.

Really flat. Some thought it was faulty. Some oak. I though it was a poor pinot.

2010, drank in 206. This is going to be really good in a few years. It's a little young and tight.
