Lovely lovely bottle of wine right here. Gorgeous aromatics of rose petal, sweet cherry, eucalyptus, mint, and some earthy funk. Palate is as poised, smooth, and soft as you'll ever find in a Napa cab, which is not to say it's light-bodied.. not at all. Rich, but uber-soft on the palate. Like a silk dress. Awesome wine.

Happy Halloween! 1st up tonight - 2012 Matthiasson Oak Knoll Cab. Much lighter style than I was expecting. Rutherford-esque sour cherry notes

Formidable depth and carry. A lovely and elegant wine. There's a hint of sweet oak that surprised me, given the style.

Smells like cab, drinks like cab and has a unreal long finish. Brings memories of the 60s and 70s. So good.

Tight on the nose, but you can immediately see that it's got so much to give. Gripping tannin with a barrage of dark red and black fruit and acidic backbone that'll keep it going for years...all under 14%abv.
