One of my favorite full bodied, smooth finish Cabs. Bold flavors jump out of every bottle.

Rose, fairy dust, star anise, cinnamon, brown sugar, good stemmy, black olive, cracked black pepper BOOM.
Palate is juicy and bit astringent, high minus tannin, high alc, med+/high - acid. Long minus finish.
Tightly wound. Wants 3 years but OH MY. PS: volcanic soil *may* translate to fairy dust

The best Sonoma cab. Soft and easy finish but a great nose and velvety finish.

Distinctive Mayacamus Mountain character but without the rough edges. Big, rich, dark and earthy. Tannins are in check and it finishes looonnngg.

Black raspberry, black cherry, and black currants are ripe/dried with some definite spice. This cab has a nice mineral quality that was unexpected...something like dusty rocks. Velvety tannins and a long finish.
