Lighter nose than AV. Smoother than AV with more balanced tannins. Really nice wine but will take the AV version for the price. — 2 months ago

Black currants, sweet oaky spices, cigar, coconut cream. Ripe, dark fruits, oaky spice (nutmeg, cinnamon), mild acidity, firm but smooth tannins. Some lingering grape candy.
A nice, affordable steak wine. — a month ago
bone-dry finish mellowed by the ripe-apricot character, plus hints of toast and melted butter. — 4 months ago

Been a hot minute since we’ve had some river bench as it is mostly in our cellar. 10 years have treated this nicely, integrated fruit and smooth tannins, mix of red and blue berries, a little herbaceous, nice and complex! — 3 months ago

This is what I remember about great California Cabs. In my cellar for 25+ years. Popped the cork and left air 2 hours before decanting for another hour. A hint of the coconut marker while first decanting but blew off quickly. Great color and condition. — 16 days ago
