Wow. What a treat. Still had some fruit showing. Had some cayenne pepper and jalepino notes.

Who's have thunk? This was still very fresh if not a bit straight forward yet not dried out and very pleasant drinking!

Amazing wine. Youthful, fresh, powerful. And only 1979.

Santa Rita Hills Cab? 35 years later? We'll see what's wrong and right with this wine when I post notes after tasting at Riverside International.

This wine.....from ccw facility was amazing. Had to decant very carefully but this was very much alive with Carmel and minerality typically seen in white burtundies. I would like more.
