A great wine from start to finish. Well balanced, and enjoyed with family! Small lot of 397 cases produced. Another great Medlock-Ames wine!

Very small batch Cabernet at a high price tag. For collectors.

Wow, surprisingly good cab. Vibrant notes of blueberry and blackberry. Less tannins than the average cab that makes it velvety. Middle notes of oak and tobacco.

Dark as blood. Smells acrid or bitter when first opened. Dust and bell pepper in the mouth. Very tannic. A youngster. Bitter though. Time open helps. Improved. Nice pleasing stuff,

Pairs nicely with Saturday night. Well balanced. Smooth tannins. Dark fruit. Wish I had more of this one.

I cellared this wine and boy did it pay off. This is a beauty! Dark fruit and dried fig flavors. Tannins are so smooth. What a treat! 2008 in 2020.
