5 years after my last bottle. This is still a good mid-weight Cabernet with flavors on the herbal and vegetal side. The blackberry has become more prominent which is a plus. This is fully ready to drink now and I would not hold longer. Good with food and a good first vintage for Ceritas. I like the 2013 much better however.

First of three, opened forty five minutes before the first pour. Aromas of red currants, black fruit, bay leaf and something along the lines of dried rose petal. Really nice fruit here. On the lighter side of full-bodied, with lush red fruit, boysenberry, currant and herb flavors. No chocolate, plum or mocha- definitely has an old school CA vibe and I like that. 92+ for both Domino and I.

Eucalyptus, cherry, nice use of oak, vegetal, strong perfume on a complex nose. Lovely ripe fruit notes on the palate, long finish, well structured. Revisit in 5-10 years.

Delicious bottle of cabernet. Some savory notes surrounding a core of black currant and cherry fruit. A bit of brambly woodsiness. Not particularly structured, but not unbalanced. Very easy to drink, lively.. The only issue is the price.

Dinner at Anvil. Better than I remember from prior bottle. Notes of dark fruits with brambly tapinade and well integrated tannins. Holding well.
