Delightful ruby red cab from Ehlers. Not as dense as many Napa Cabs, but delivered a nice robust flavor. Packed in black fruit and subtle hints of cedar, eucalyptus and mint notes. All in all glad to have a few of these sitting on the shelf.

Ruby. Perfumed nose. Distinctive Cab. Cherry Cola, coffee + toffee, smooth tannins. Elegant mid-palette finish.

Great Napa juice for the money. Nice complexity, refined tannins, layers of dark fruit, touches of red berries, mocha, and baking spices.2015

Blackberry, black cherry, vanilla, plum, raspberry preserves, mossy earth, eucalyptus and oak. Great structure and well-integrated tannins.

Drinking well now, but might be going through a phase. I'm going to save the other bottle for at least another year.

Big and unctuous. Layered flavors of blackberries and roasted espresso beans. Silky tannin and a lasting finish. Delicious.

Still robust, even 9 yrs later. Amazing wine, tons of fruit and smooth tannins.

A bomb CS from Napa. Great fruit/acid balance. This will drink better with a few years in the cellar but fine now if decanted and allowed to open up .
