Decanted 5 hours before pairing with beef loin top sirloin grilled steaks. After this length of time, an opaque garnet hue, with a generous nose of ripe dark cherry, plum, blackberry, black currant and oak spices. A BIG push through the mid-palate, with tannins and oak spices in accompaniment. A very big cabernet, just now entering it's drinking window, an excellent pairing with dinner! Great job, Pina and Co.!

excellent, this is a big modern Napa cab, tastes like a young cab with big dark cherry fruits. Rich, 2nd day it had mellowed out and was smooth, still tasty. I would guess it has years to go. Best of and last of 6 bottles.

Had lots of takin and a great finish but also some harshness to it. Could be that I should have consumed this 2008 a couple of years ago.
