Wow, Structured, and balanced. Almost rustic till the finish when the power hits you. This needs heavy beef, so tasty.

Not for the faint of heart. If you don't like complex hellish structure stay away. If you are still reading you will love glass after glass.
Oh, and they managed to throw some big rich black fruit in there too!

1979 Martin Ray. Really lovely earth and light leather tones. Deep color and nice nose and mod finish

Very enjoyable, with juicy earthy notes mid-palate that cling to the sides of my mouth, making me want more.

2015 vintage. Light-medium/medium body. Elegant with just the right mix of primary and secondary characteristics currently. Some earthy tones, some pretty tones. Picked up 3 cases for an affordable ($35 a btl) domestic Cab with a decade of age on it. 2013 effort (not reviewed) had a slightly, off-putting, prunish note on the finish that wouldn’t leave the party so passed on it and went with this instead. 3.11.26.
