  Full bodied with blackberry, cassis, cocoa and saddle leather. Smooth and balanced with nicely integrated tannins. Some earthy notes on the finish. A classic, well aged Cabernet.

  Drank this following a comparative tasting at Freemark Abbey in St. Helena. This was still dark and inky in color. Nice balance between dark fruit, plum, a hint of mint and sublime tannins. Still drinking well but beginning to morph into "older wine" status.

  At Acacia House with Randy and Alice. Brief notes: Great cassis nose, smooth in the mouth, plums, balanced oak, and well matured, long finish.
  Drinking well now - could last a couple more years, but one for the short(ish) term.

  Plenty of fruit up front. Lots of raspberry, blackberry, dark cherry and plum. However tannins seem a bit diminished and the wine was a touch astringent. A little oaky on the finish. 2008 was a lesser vintage but expected a little more from this. Was a bit one dimensional. Maybe a faded bottle.

  Still shows gobs of black & red fruit. Tannins seem integrated. Very good in general.
