Such a pleasure, soft and gentle fruit. Can still taste a light touch of oak. Probably a little over the top now but delicious nonetheless — 8 years ago

I love this wine! It is always so balanced. Extremely smooth with very little tannins showing, being so young. A wine that never disappoints no matter the vintage. — 9 years ago
Decanted for four hours. My least fave of the 5 86 Firsts. A little disjointed. — 11 years ago

Unique blend. A little sweet. Good table wine. Not for everyone though. Kinda breaks the rules of red wine. — 10 years ago

Solid vintage from one of my favorites. Black cherry with a little bit of vanilla. Great nose but surprisingly not as full bodied as I thought it would be. — 11 years ago

Dark ruby, bright, doesn’t look it’s age. Awesome funky old Cal Cab nose. Notes of cherry, cranberry sauce, dirt and some balsa wood. Some steminess. Great perfume. Nice in the mouth but missing just a little bit in the mid palate. Really enjoyed this. — 7 years ago
