Not much of nose left except for hint of mocha. The tannins have completely mellowed leaving stewed plums and dried figs for the palate. I remember tasting this back in 2013 and thinking that it had a lot of eucalyptus, mint, and bell pepper in the finish. All of that has melted away with time leaving white pepper, espresso, and just a hint of bell pepper still remaining

Words that come to mind = non distinct grapiness, mellow, bulky, simple and alas, unmemorable. Nose of ripe cab followed on the palette by more grape, some plum, leather. Finish is med. Low acidity and tannins.

Nice wine. Very typical flavor profile of a dry creek cab. Would buy again. Yummy.
