An absolutely fabulous nose: fresh, ripe dark red fruit, smoke, mint chocolate, cedar -- totally classic mature Napa Cab flavors. The palate doesn't quite live up to the nose; while the flavors carry through, the same intensity isn't there. The structure is mostly resolved, the tannins are soft and relaxed and this is fully mature. But as it breathes it puts on a big of weight. A really excellent mature cabernet.

Tasting 8 Great Cabernet Sauvignons (Sonoma County-Russian River Area): Nice, lovely fruit on the nose, very tasty, tart, fruity, lovely finish, at peak, time to enjoy. My #4 of 8.
