2010- dark red in color black cherry eucalyptus and mint aromas. Slightly drying with black cherry with a hint of sweet oak character and vanilla highlights the flavor.

Dark colored with a jammy aroma. Lots of ripe berry tones with a slight herbaceous and astringent undertone. Medium tannins that offer some bite, but don't overwhelm with a stick to your teeth finish. Paired nicely with with a nice dry-aged ribeye, but could easily benefit from some further cellar time. Very enjoyable although I'm a bigger fan of their Reserve Syrah.

Smooth easy to drink. Lots of dark fruit. Maybe a touch too much oak.

Deep dark fruits. Smooth & silky taste. Great color. Hints of chocolate. Really impressed.

Notes of chocolate and cherry upfront, but tight tannins on the back end. Fruit drops off half way through the palate.

This was an OK Cab Sauv for me. Way too syrupy-tasting at the open. I struggled to find something to pair it with. Got better the longer we drank it.
