Light but expressive. Dusty dryness is apparent on the nose which transfers onto palate. Nice purple fruit, blueberry, raspberry and mild vanilla meld into dusty dryness. Well structured by prominent and persistent tannins. Continually nteresting and good value,but opened too soon.

Everything that I would want in a bold cab with An amazing touch of French oak. Plenty of tannins with the typical fruit bomb of a California cab, and the smooth French oak.

Red fruits and cedar nose, black cherry and licorice taste, smooth finish with a little some acidity and med-low tannins to finish. Good but won’t blow your socks off!

2013 in 2017. A bit sweeter then I expected. Not very spicy. Fruit forward soft tannins. Scored a bit lower had higher expectations. Found the green pepper on the last glass. Took a long time to open up. Suggest 2 hours
