It can be hard to rate wine appropriately when you are enjoying one of the best steaks out there! Lovely evening with family celebrating my wife and father-in-law's birthdays. This is an excellent house wine. This and the Sullivan's private label (Steve Matthiason is the winemaker for Sullivan's...maybe Del Frisco's too?) are without a doubt some of the finest house wines out there. This is a bold cab on the nose and tongue. Probably needs 2-3 years in the bottle to calm down since it's young at '14, but the tannins aren't overpowering. Big integration of oak; doesn't take away from the tart blackberries and candied plum. Lengthy finish.
