This vintage is tasting pretty good. If I were to blind taste this I would not guess this was a Cab. Does not mean this is a bad wine though, I think it is still a nice wine.

This is still holding up. Not a lot of green pepper on this anymore but still a lot of fruit. Decent wine.

2013 vintage. Smooth tannins. Fruit: plums. Not much at the back of the palate. Very drinkable now.

Double gold winner. Very smooth, not oaky, excellent balance.

Fantastic cab opens up with a little time. Great nose, smooth mouth, nice Finish. Paired super well with triple chocolate brownies!
