Excellent Cab with both old and new world nuances. Strong blueberry and black fruit but a refined finish. Complex and delicious. WBA

This poor bottle has been with me for years, in several different locations (closet, refrigerator, basement, wine fridge...) figured I'd put it out of its misery finally. Seemed like I killed it on opening, but really blossomed with air. Ripe concentrated cassis and dark herbal elements. Wish I could have (properly) held on to this a little longer

2010. Elegant, complex, balanced, and restrained. Needs to come in magnums only. Delicious.

Very smooth Cab. More fruit-forward and on the green side but very nice texture and balance. A bit of herbal notes like vegetable leaves and also baking spices. Dark ruby color, soft tannin, long finish. Very enjoyable.

2010 was very smooth. I wish it were a little bolder. Very good though.

Fantastic wine - sweet with tones of blackberry and strawberry... but also a little dry. Highly recommended!

Likely the best I've ever had, it's another level of smooth. Rich full bodied.

nice oak. so smooth. tannins are perfectly in balance already. age would probably give more depth that it is lacking now. drinking this with a Fred's Steak
