Bought with a couple of the guys at Ruth's Chris in Portland. Popped and poured, paired with their excellent steak sandwich on Happy Hour. Rich and mouthcoating, with nice texture. Black currant and vanilla flavors are most apparent, with secondary flavors of earth, cigar box and dark chocolate coming in on the finish. Really nice wine, although at the restaurant price it's a fairly poor QPR. I'd buy this again at retail though. Ready to go now with a bit of aeration and should drink well through 2034.

Excellent Red Mountain Cabernet. Not overly sweet like many of its peers at this price point . If drinking now give a long decant. Best on day two.

Nice balanced cool climate cab, notes of blackcurrant and dried herbs, fine tannins. Not very complex but quaffable.
