When I had one of these you young it tasted more like jammy Zin than a Cabernet. Now it tastes like an older zin, but I found that a lot more appealing. Still slightly jammy fruit but balanced by more earthiness and cigar box notes.

Big fruit, plush, delicious now, but lacking acidity for the long haul.

Appealing cigar box aromas. Starts out appealing even still showing fruit but the finish is sadly a one dimensional burn.

Ripe, rich, deep... this really doesn’t drink like a 23 year old. Lots of sweet figgy fruit. Medium weight, a bit one note with the sweet fruit right upfront. Beautiful accompaniment to medium rare filets. Longevity of California Cabernet always surprises me (though it shouldn’t by now). Long silky finish.
