Deep Ruby red color, blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with a splash of Petite Sirah, with aromas of dark fruit, floral and oaky herbs. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and sweet currants with cacao and espresso notes. Full-body, good balanced, fine tannins on a medium+ finish ending a bit spicy and oak character. Nice Value!

Happy Birthday to me.
All of these wines still improved with some air.

This held up surprisingly well. A touch of fruit left, mostly dried characteristics but soft tannins and good acidity.

Not the best bottle I have had but so incredibly lucky to get to taste these on a regular basis. #Timetraveling

@Kelli White and I may have failed at calling this, but Ben sure succeeded in pouring us a beauty. Super fresh, fine detailed tannins and fruit very much intact.
