Relatively youthful for its age. Sweet red berries on the nose with hint of some spices. Fresh, juicy, tart cherries on the palate. Medium acidity, mild to no tannins, good level of fruit. Great drink. Could last a few more years in a cold cellar. No signs of aging observed, i.e. tobacco, tea leaves, bricking, etc.

A nice surprise. Perfect mature Cali Cab from old school times. Nose of leather, dried currants, black truffles. Mature but nice palate. Lasted a full hour in the glass. Would buy more of these if I could.

Currant, mineral, intense, spicy & fresh. Some capsicum and campfire coming through, plus some tea elements indicating late maturity here, but this is still zingy, sweetly fruited, well-balanced and delicious.

Great bottle of wine purchased from winery Oct 2012 and drank today for Valentines Day. A testament to storage. The cork was solid and and wine was a beautiful garnet color. First vintage Cab from Freemark and must say if you get a chance to get some from them... do it. Will check my club membership to see if can get some more.

Too old or previous owner did not store properly.
Would be GREAT in a stew!
