Dark purple. Deep-pitched cassis, cherry-vanilla and pipe tobacco aromas are complemented by a building floral note and a hint of cracked pepper. Rich but energetic as well, showing solid thrust to the dark berry preserve, mocha and rose pastille flavors. Finishes on a smoky note, with strong tenacity, lingering floral oak spice character and steadily building tannins. All new French oak. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2020)

The Paso Robles Cab which is standing up to the Napa latest and greatest and a young gun at that. The nose is mossy, musty with underlying fruit and spice notes. The mouthfeel is meaty, chewy, gamy almost, with a ripe fruit coating the palate, medium minus acidity, high alcohol, dry, it’s got a short finish with notes of dark chocolate and licorice… It works! Avant-garde-ly in away: hot climate Cab done right.

Now THAT'S a cab. Full, smoky, hint of spice and tannins...and just delicious.

A decent middle-of-the-road Cab, nothing more, nothing less.

Very nice and complex. Fruits and smoke and mocha with full body and nice tannins. A fave!

Who would have thought that after all that waiting, I'd finally end up opening this bottle on a random Thursday night in December? My brother got me this bottle for my birthday back in February and I was waiting for a celebratory moment to open it, but hey, who says I can't celebrate a Thursday? Deep plum color, and almost completely opaque. Heady, subtle, deep fruit scent. Toasted oak and vanilla, black cherry, baking spice, maybe a little tobacco? Well worth the hype. Taste is smooth and soft and it gave me a little chill. Medium body, lovely tannin to balance out the beginning. I love it. Yum. Amazing.

Compared the 2017 and the 2018 with our Isosceles partners the Wilson’s. Group agreed that the ‘18 is a touch less acidic than the ‘17. But, this time I found them generally underwhelming. Blend fatigue?
