I’m down to my last couple of these. This one drank better than the last 2. What you’d expect from a 30 year old Cali cab with proper provenance. Fading quickly but still delicious. Don’t hold for another 5 years. Drink up

Amazing red currant and cedar perfumed nose and light, elegant body. 90% Cab Sauv, 10% Merlot.

Fully resolved. Just fantastic. Some felt it was on the downhill slide. I disagree.

A gift from @Benjamin Keator and I am so thankful. This wine opens up with candor, displaying a medley of attic musk, dried berries and firewood aromas. Tasting I get heavy red and black currants and dried cherries and cranberries. Glad to have shared with @Arden Barnett and my two roommates.

Not getting any better, but drinking damn well right now. Fruit is gone. Crowd favorite

Santa Cruz Mountain Legend. A cool and challenging year, but screaming delicious. Pronounced tobacco, fall leaves, old travel trunk funk, crushed rock, dried berry medley still vibrant acidity. Almost fully integrated tannins. If you have, it's time to start opening, you won't be let down.
