  Sweet vanilla. Is this wine or syrup for pancakes!?
  
  Honestly, most of the group liked this wine, I just need some tension or other flavors.

  Deep ruby. The rather delicate nose for a CA Cabernet takes time and air to reveal itself with sage, herbs, red fruit and lead pencil. On the palate, the fruit is balanced with good acidity and a tannic backbone which lasts through the long finish. This can definitely age well, and while delicious now, should be given a bit of air to unfold. Great showing for a second wine.

  Nice leathery nose. Disappointed that cork broke in half. A left bank wine with nice fruit, big and beautiful.

  Opened this next to a 2012 Scarecrow. Blind I wouldn't have thought these wines were related in a slightest. Different fruit profile, structure etc. etc.
  
  Muscular medium plus tannins. Dark bramble vs. red fruits.
  
  Consumed over two days with more approachability on day two. Or consider a long decant and some sediment filtering.
