Rich and savory, smelling of seaweed, must, and dark preserves with burnt sugar or caramel. There's an olivey savoriness on the palate that signals Syrah, along with some cured meat and pepper. Opens up with more jammy berry flavors after 30 minutes, with a nice kiss of oak. Old world meets New World feel going on here. Ripe and giving for days on the palate with lots of umami and sweet. — 10 years ago

Amazed by the price, and blown away by the flavor profiles this everyday white brings to the dinner table.#newfavoritechickencutletwine! — 12 years ago

What a treat. From the company to the antics of the cork removal, all was fantastic. Not surprised with some immediate mustiness on the nose, giving way to a rich but smooth aged blue cheese, mushrooms, soy sauce, earth, and just a faint hint of dried red fruit. Over the next 20 minutes the glass development was out of control, changing with each and every whiff and sip. Earthy umami, oxidative, and and slightly stewed reds to begin quickly opened to nice dried strawberries on the palate and nose, and advancing to moderately subdued ripened strawberries and cranberries- after 61 years and still kickin with fruit! Amazing. Then after about 20 minutes of rapid metamorphosis, it gave in and decided to fade to a very pleasant sipper...awesome. — 10 years ago

Although only 5% Semillon, that varietal has a strong impact here, giving a touch of sweetness and extra volume. With some air, this delicate aromas of dried herbs and spice. The inner mouth perfume really explides on the finish. — 11 years ago

In honer of the Porter's visit. Decanted 45 minutes. Faded garnet core with pronounced age on the rim. Leads with graphite and leather, then currants, dried cranberry and notes of cigar box and forest floor. Fruits come through first on the palate and giving similar aromas to the nose, immediately followed by earth, tobacco, wet soil. Medium bodied with moderate viscosity. Still showing tannic structure through the medium+ length finish. Very enjoyable but I believe it'll improve with 5-10 more years. — 13 years ago

Popped 1 of my 3 bottles to celebrate two friends turning 50 at Factory Kitchen. 50 year old California Cab with finesse, balance, and though I wouldn't expect it to improve over time, it was fantastic and quintessential old school cab from without a doubt one of my favorite California producers. Just lovely! — 11 years ago

Too young and not giving up much right now. Lots of potential but some red fruits and wood most prevalent. — 12 years ago
