A lovely Cabernet from California , well done and elegant, pleasant nose of: oak ,tobacco , a touch of cherry , vanilla ,blackberry , cedar , dark fruit , blackcurrant , graphite and black pepper, medium to full body with dry tannins and a good acidity, the finish is pleasant yet dry. Still young and would be better in 2021, my score 88, drink to 2025

This is a good cab. The 15 vintage was 91 points and a great value. The 16 is also very good. Grippy tannins and quite firm. Needs a few years to hit its prime.

Great wine for the food here. Nice tannins and mid palate fruit. Clean finish.

1 person found it helpfulApr 29th, 20192016 opened Nov 2021. This wine is young and just beginning to be drinkable. I give an 8.9 more for what I think it can become rather than what it is now (8.7). Heavy tobacco, nettles, and blackberry on the nose. Light fruit on the front, blackberries and — and someone mentioned vanilla? — I get the vanilla stick flavor — that becomes bitter dark chocolate on the mid palate. Tannins on the front of the palate are soft and of a medium density — so it took me off guard when this wine hit me with a strongly bitter but acidic ending. I found a bit off putting. Ten amore years and I think those components will fade. Drink this with a seared ribeye steak, or maybe a rich double chocolate cake. It’s a pretty powerful tipple and I suspect it will overwhelm most other pairings.

Nice nose. Good tannins and finish. Good value Ok. Even better. After 2-3 hours post dinner still wonderful. Really enjoying it
