Big bold and rich. Truly what you want and expect a Cali cab to be. Possibly over priced, but sometimes you need to splurge

Dark fruits and fruit forward. Spicy on the finish. Some medicinal flavors (not a bad thing). Good complexity.

Big, dark, red bomb. Decanted for an hour and it was smooth as silk

Rich smooth Cab. The tannins are soft but it’s all blue fruit. Nice but not my style

Luscious, rich, intense but balanced. A BIG cab! Marvelous bouquet. Dark chocolate, dark cherries, and coffee. Perfect accompaniment with a great steak. I have been saving this bottle for a while — it was worth the wait.
