Nose shows spices and a somewhat muted dark fruit character. Tannins have a good grip and aren't too pronounced. Healthy acidity, blackberries and blueberries predominate. The 14.3% alcohol shows through on the finish. Overall a nice solid wine. I want sure what to expect from lake county, and it delivered.
Even though this wine is 6 1/2 years from harvest at this writing, it still has time left to mellow.

A nose of sweet dark fruit and spice, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, plum, dark chocolate and spice on finish. www.winelx.com

Loved this wine - very balanced and smooth out of the bottle. 2017 is drinking very well right now Purchase on Winetext for $30 which is a can’t miss. It’s still a good value at full price

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Lake County.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black fruits with wood, vanilla, earth, spices, leather, tobacco, vegetables, herbs, dark coffee and black pepper.
Easy drinking and good right out of the bottle. Feels like a Napa Cabernet.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
14.3% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$75.
