Wow! This is starting to come into it's early drinking windown. Cassis, red cherry, hints of earthiness and menthol with the tell tale montelena flavors. The finish is LONG. A perfect compliment to the food at Gary Danko for our Anniversary. If you must drink now decant for 4+ hours. It will get better.

One of the purest expressions of Cab I've had from CA. Stills has tons of life and fruit left in it. Excellent!

Very Bordeaux nose. Earth and dark, black fruits with some chocolate and lots of t and a. Mouthcoating tannins and a long finish. A touch alcoholic for my taste, not as balanced as earlier bottles I've had.

A "wow" wine! Powerful & big with lots of fruit and tannin but great balance so that neither overwhelm. Extended finish! A great CA CAB. Reminds me of a great Bordeaux
