Golden lemon colored, medium full-bodied, full, round, concentrated, complex opulent fruits with a layer almost bordering on butterscotch, accented by notes of baking spice, hints of lemon, grapefruit, ginger and a touch of peach and almond nut cream, with bright acidity, depth and balance on a full long finish. https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2024/05/pour-boys-gather-for-flw-weekend-and.html

Golden straw colored, medium bodied, rich and textured, intense bright pear, melon, green apple and citrus fruit flavors with pain grille notes accentuated with dusty rose, white flowers and chalky minerals ending with a bright, crisp finish.
This '01 was dark garnet colored, full bodied, firm and a bit tight, forward black cherry, black currant and black cherry fruits, accented by tones of black tea, black olive, herb, cedar and spice, finishing with gripping lingering tannins. Holding up nicely at 23 years - the cork, fill level, label and foil were in perfect condition (shown in submitted picture), better than previous bottle consumed a decade earlier. https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2024/05/snowden-rutherford-cabernet-w-ribeye.html

Cheers!
