Wonderful California can. Good bouquet and smooth finish. Opened one hour before drinking, but did not decant. Wish I had more bottles.

Quite standard Cabernet, not sure I see anything site specific to warrant the price, creme de cassis, black fruit, vanilla, lots of fruit on the palate, which Indy is fully and tannic, medium length finish

Decanted for hour and a half. Predominant flavors of dark fruit. Still strong tannins, but not overpowering. Really nice now, but has years before it peaks.

Bouquet somewhat muted...but perhaps because we opened and poured glasses with no decanting. Very smooth with a long finish.

Nice Blueberry, blackberries and sage on the nose. A bit sparse flavors and a tight finish that was still tight and astringent two days later.
