This has stood still. Love this wine from the prior winemaker; Dean Sylvester.
From magnum.
Notes of cocoa and coffee. Tannins are integrated. Good acid profile. This has another 5 years of runway, at least. Happy Christmas, lifeforms đź‘˝

Very nice surprise. Loads of fruit still present here. Acidity and tannin have mostly integrated but it’s definitely not flabby. Soft dark fruit dominant, with clay and older graham cracker. Drink up.

Apr 14th, 2018I've tasted many vintages of this designation, particularly the 04 vintage.
The nose has a nice perfume of cherries and blueberries and dried herbs. Palette is well behaved. Tannins are pronounced, but well integrated. Alcohol at 14.2 is kept in check with the tannins and acid profile. Lovely notes of spice box, oak and black fruits. Flavors persist for ages. Great bottle!

Oct 7th, 20132004 Silver reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. I had this in my wine cellar. The upper part of cork disintegrated. The cork had 1/4” that was intact. Absolutely delicious. I am so glad it wasn’t ruined. Full body California Cabernet. It still had texture. It still has tannins. I bet this could go another 5 years.
