Dark yellow on color. Definitely mellowed more but oaky. Interesting to try a later vintage. This was ok but may have been a bit too aged. — 3 years ago
Solid and definitely needed the aerator but aging well. Will be excellent in a few years. Deep and earthy. Lots of dark fruit. — 4 years ago
Drinking really nice! Sad to see the last bottle go especially knowing this was a one year vintage. Would get again if available. — 5 years ago
Cherry, cranberry, raspberry, watermelon, lemon and hints of rose petal. Great acidity and balance. — 5 years ago
Great bang for my buck! Probably overly-fruity for some meals, but for the price, this can't be beat. — 5 years ago
Ehlers estates 1886
Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
KAPOW! Perfection in California Cabernet Sauvignon. Sometimes you get what you pay for. This is one of those times. The bouquet is fantastic blackberry rhubarb pie. The huge dark berries upfront are fantastic. The chocolate and vanilla on the bed ballad are like velvet on the tongue. Then that beautiful Okey finish with minimal dryness and a wonderful sweet ending but absolutely no sugar if that makes any sense. This is the after taste that all Cabernet producers try to achieve.  well Ehlers have done it.  — 6 years ago
String and earthy with dark fruit. The tonella is better of course but this is still good. Drinking young. — 3 years ago
Deep and earthy. Drinking ok but could still use more time. — 4 years ago
Still a great Merlot but lots of dark fruit and feels alcoholic/hangover inducing. Their wines recently need to sit much longer than in the past. — 4 years ago
