I pulled this from the cellar as a possibility for Christmas dinner with some good friends. After they told us that they might be moving away, I considered replacing this with a bottle of Yellow Tail. Seeing that I do not own any of the “Tail” we went with this. My wonderful brethren and sistren (word?) here liked the wine, me? I loved it: really tight despite being more than a dozen years out, but on the palate, this is gangbusters—great fruit, killer acid, and a lengthy, lengthy finish. Just short of a whoa. 93 thedrunkencyclist.com

The aging of the wine did nothing to diminish the nose or the beauty on the palette

Disappointing. Run of the mill California Cab. Not much going on.

Opened up nicely, subtle fruit, medium body with a satisfying finish. Great with grilled steak.
