I LOVE Eight Arms. I wish I had held into onto this cab a bit longer as it is not as integrated and balanced as I believe it will be in a few years(I should let it decant a bit though so there is that), but it's yummy (very technical term) and hearty even before decanting. And I am putting myself through Cali Cab bootcamp so wanted to open it. A whole bunch of blackberry, cassis, allspice, nutmeg, tobacco, and cedar is what I get. The tannins are not so high but need a little time to integrate themselves...all the same good job Eight Arms. I have never been let down!
