2014. Sonoma cabernet is just a different cat. Meow! And a friendly one at that. Lean, clean, and just a teensy bit green. This wine runs up to meet you. Not aloof, no pretension, no delusions of grandeur. None of the all-too-common Napa experience of all hat, no cattle. Balanced, concentrated, and inviting. Warning: drinks way too easily. Good acid. Has a few more years in it for sure.

Very smooth and fruity for a Cabernet Sauvignon. Goes down easily.

Nov 24th, 2017Consumed 9/2017. Rich and lush, bursting with blackberries and dark plums. The complex layers of silky chocolate and baking spices on the pallet are framed in smooth tannins with a long, lingering finish. That is the description on the bottle. This was a pretty good wine for me, But a bit pricey for me not to like it more than I actually did.

Very drinkable even after 3 days under vacuum. Doesn't overpower, yet has plenty of character. Excellent value.
