Good purity of fruit and not overly oaked. From an excellent vineyard.

Surprised how well it's drinking at such a young age. Nice way to end the Hawaiian vacation at Neiman Marcus restaurant!

A understated Cab. The alcohol while nicely not being a "clobber you over the head bomb extends to other characteristics. The oak is very mild, maybe a little too mild. A nice wine but maybe too mellow for a wine that's only five years old. Still a nice wine that I was happy with.
