In a good spot right now...nice black and red fruits, mountain spice, truffle, and crushed volcanic rocks.

Drank with an awesome Christmas dinner of Prime Rib, Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans plus a little chocolate to accompany the final sips of this wine. Decanted for only about 40 minutes. A bit tight at the beginning but really opened up quickly. Nose of cedar and dark fruit. Initial taste was of cherry cola but flowed quickly to black cherry, tobacco and oak. Still has ample tannins and acidity to roll another 10 years. Loved the layers …

Nose of lovely briar, black berry, rish fruit, and briary tannins, same on the palate, big body, the most massive and tannic bottle I have enjoyed which suggests it will easily age another 12 years, the tannins resolved, softened and almost disappeared 45 minutes later which changed my score from 90 to 93, mouth filling fruit, very tasty, like a one day old black berry tart, long, long, flavorgul finish and aftertaste. Kathy enjoyed this wine very much although she …

From magnum, enjoyed over 3 nights. Nose of black cherry, red cherry, allspice, cedar, and forest floor, same on the palate, big body, very tasty, mouth filling fruit, nearly at peak drinking time, paired with Roasted Turkey, hint of brooding fruit and soft tannins, and a long finish and terrific aftertaste.

Nose of black cherry, black berry, and allspice, same on the palate, big body, very tasty, mouth filling fruit, sweet fruit, rich fruit, paired with a Roasted Chicken and it was a delicious tasting meal, at it's best-time to drink up, and a long, flavorful finish and aftertaste.

2007 vintage

Nose of black cherry, black berry, and herbs, same on the palate, medium/big body, very tasty, at its peak of the drinking window, time to enjoy your cellar efforts, mouth filling fruit, sweet, rich fruit, went well with the Turkey and Swiss cheese sandwich, and a long, flavorful finish. Glad I have more in the cellar to enjoy!!

Simply the WOTN......easily the winner. Beautiful cedar and red fruit nose, wonderfully integrated tannins with more red fruit and smooth velour in the mouth. What's not to like. I have a hard time believing this can get any better.....

Dark purple and opaque, can sense this wine is deep and concentrated. Lives up to expectations. At 11 years old tannins starting to soften but still has stuffing left. Dark cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, a touch of menthol. Great juice.

2007 vintage

Decanted about 1 hour. Paired with boneless pablano short ribs. Nice red fruit with a small amount of cabiness. Velvety smooth with a nice finish. Certainly not overpowering but what you expect from a $100+ Cab. Well done.

2007 vintage

Tasting fantastic right out of the bottle. Did not pair well with food, but was perfect by itself. Great ripe 2007 cherries, great acidity for another 10 years. 1 bottle left!

2007 vintage

Beautiful soft wine. The bright 2007 Bing cherry notes have dropped out, leaving darker cherry/blackberry notes. Very fine tannis at the finish, leaving me to believe this should be drunk in the next 3 years. Steak and blue cheese overpowered the wine, but a beautiful expression of 2007 fruit. Can't wait to pop the next bottle.

Last of my 1/2 case of this. PnP, consumed over 4 hours. Dusty cherry and some cedar on the nose. Taste is tart, drying cherry. Fair acids up front, drying tannins mid to finish. At a nice point and nice QPR.

2007 vintage

Nose is a little muted with dusty cherries and cedar. Taste is ripe black fruits, currant and some oak. This is smoothing out and is tasting well for a $20 cab.

2007 vintage

Nose is muted but does have a bit of cedar undertones. Taste is ripe/stewed black currant. Getting more tannins with this bottle than I remember in the past. Not getting the heat I've tasted in the past. Not a bad QPR.

2007 vintage

Nose showed more plumb than what I remember from before. Taste again is black currant, cedar, allspice with a nice transition. Still a little too hot.

2007 vintage

Tasted after being open for 2~3 hours. Tastings consistent with previous notes repeated here: Nose is mostly spicy without much fruit; the oak is dominant. Taste is black currant, cedar, allspice and has a fairly smooth transition to the tannins. A bit too hot but not bad for a $20 cab.
