Boom. As good as anything I've had in a while. Old World'esque, think the 09 was WS #4, not sure if I'm remembering that right. Perfect integration of fruit, tannin, oak and green. Great wine, wish I had more. This will age for a while but can't imagine it will be in a better spot

Excellent well balanced cab. Didn't overpower. Had a rich balanced taste that worked nicely with steak.

Superb! Tried as alternative to usual Cakebread and was not disappointed. Did need decanting to bring out the sweetness.

Absolutely delicious. Wonderful flavor of cocoa, medium tannins and a finish that makes you want more!
