Gorgeous old school Cali cab. Refined subtle yet bursting with flavor. Drinking beautifully

Not overly complex, but much better than my experience with the 2013. A vanilla milkshake drizzled with blackberry syrup. Easy to please.

Jun 25th, 2017Opens with a blast of vanilla that has a floral tinge. High toned and, if I'm being generous, a medium body. Fruity like Hi-C fruit punch. Not a hollow wine, but comes to a hard stop following the mid-palate: Paid less than $30, which was a relative deal, but I'd need a 50% off sale to buy again. Child's play.

Mar 12th, 2017Excellent wine. Thick and chewy. Layers and layers of interest and flavors. Still has strong tannins and plenty of fruit. Long finish.

I think I got this from a Morton’s wine locker event. Ok, nothing special, probably won’t purchase again.

Similar notes to the Oakville. Solid, but I still strongly prefer the Block V. In any case, for the price this destroys grocery store plonk for value.

1997 Soft, and somewhat tired. At first I thought it was shot. But it turned out to be really pleasant and it had staying power. Nice surprise. 86
