Unbelievable wine.. I think besides the 1975 Estate Pinot Noir, this is the best wine Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyards has ever made.

28 years old was just right. Red in the glass, lovely secondary flavors.

Amazing. Wildly underrated area for age worthy Cabernets. I'd love to have a small mountain of this in the cellar to see how it progresses.

Showed well, best after an hour of air. All cedar and cigar on the nose, palate has some mint on the finish.
