Leave this open at least one hour before consuming. Rich Cabernet Sauvignon with leather and smooth tannins in the finish. Nice example of California Cabernet Sauvignon but not extraordinary. — 7 months ago
Was given this excellent bottle as a gift. Smooth, excellent, not to bold. Balanced. — 8 months ago
So this is not exactly Elizabeth. It is the same fruit that goes into the Elizabeth, but they made it only as a vintage. They did not put the Elizabeth name on it. There reason is, they believed it wouldn’t last two generations.
As a vintage, it is better than their N/V but not up to most Elizabeth’s I’ve had. However, it is about half the price of Elizabeth w/o less than half the quality.
It was a bit better than 93, 93.4 so I rounded down. — 2 months ago
Aromas of bing cherries and black current. Delicate balance of oak and fruit. Light on the palate, balanced in the finish. Great Cab! — 6 months ago
My last bottle of the 13s. It has been about 4 years, and this wine has now hit its stride. In my previous notes the wine was unbalanced. Now, with more age, and a 45 min decant, the wine is wonderfully balanced. Big ripe dark fruit, softened yet still powerful tannins, well matched acidity. Great mouthfeel and nice finish. Has been nice to see a wine through the years really develop. — 8 months ago

Aromas of grass, lemon, and grapefruit. Citrusy, tart, and crisp in the mouth. Nice and easy drinking Sauv Blanc. Excellent price point. — 24 days ago
