Dark black / red edges. Dark cherry & blackberries with currants. Long legs & pleasing tannins on the finish. Excellent pairing with grilled aged Rib-In Ribeye. Great for 40th wedding anniversary. Looking forward to next bottle on 45 anniversary.

Dark, lush fruit with edges of ruby. Nice long legs. Hints of cherry and raisin. Light tannic finish tapering to spicy pepper.

Fragrant on the nose. Fruit forward with a slight jam quality. Heavy on the cherry in front, softening into a slightly raisiny, softly tannic, lingering finish with just a hint of spice.

Pleasant Cabernet with a quiet start to finish. Very drinkable wine !(

Great Sonoma Cab. Perfect for the NY strips and potato salad for the opening of outdoor dining. Thanks to Whaler on Jackfish for sharing!

Ruby red, a finish that hints of cherries & chocolate and ends with a trailing tannin at the back of your mouth.

2012 needs some more time to show its true colors. Has nice tannins and high acidity, will be better in years to come.
