These 97’s are tannin/fruit bombs…no exception here. This one pretty balanced but not a big fan of 97’s!

The first vintage of SOC in celebration of my grandad. Spectacular and generous so many years later.

Old style California cab. Vanilla and coconut in the nose. Quite expansive in the mid palate. Acidity still present! Great + finish. What a showing for a 43 year old wine!
