Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara Cabernet Sauvignon

Excellent!

Plums, blackberries and a slight hint of coffee. Yummy!!! My fave so far.

Surprisingly, this has become more saccharine with age. Not as good as previously.

One of the most refined Santa Barbara cabs I've encountered

Birthday dinner at Forge in Carmel

Wow. I don't know what happened in the interim since I last had this, but it really turned the corner. The winemaker is Adam Henkel, formerly of Harlan, who seems to have really crafted a sleeper. Wonderfully integrated tannins! Dark cherry and some other red fruits on the palate. Excellent finish.

My taste buds were a bit fried from the earlier events. As always, this is a pleasant wine.

Vanilla, plum and baking spice on nose. Big juicy berries on palate that are well balanced and grounded. @Ed Dickey it's a steal

Excellent!! Extremely drinkable now (2016)
