Really delicious but needs at least 3 hours in the decanter to shed some of the fierce tannins. Will be much better in 5 years. — 12 years ago

Good Cali Cab to kick off Grateful Dead's Farewell Tour. Blackberry, licorice, menthol. Epic year. — 10 years ago
The complexity...blueberry, blackberry, coffee, orange zest, forest floor, leather...a long finish, intense aromatics. Up there or better than the wines from my recent visit to cimarossa. — 11 years ago

We let this 2008 decant for a couple of hours and it was very smooth. Soft tannins with rich fruit. Great with Dinner! — 10 years ago
