Slightly corked. Classy Another bottle 5/22/22 faired better in the cork lottery. Adjusted score.

Made by Cathy Corison! This was insanely fresh. Ripe black fruit and tons of savory (good) vegetal secondaries, plus really deft oak. Goddamn, old California Cab is the best thing ever.

A total surprise of complete drinkability, minty and spicy with silky tannins.

One of the best wines I've ever had with this much age! Can't believe the amount of vibrant life it still had in it. Wowzers
