winemaker's notes:

Deep garnet color. A rich bouquet of dark cherry, cocoa, clove, plum, tobacco and toasted oak, with delicate notes of coffee and truffle. Layered and complex. Rich and full on the palate with a supple mouthfeel and opulent layers of plum, cherry, anise, and mocha. Smooth and concentrated, the wine exhibits richly woven texture with dark, dense fruit on the long finish.

Blend: 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Syrah, 1% Malbec

alcohol by volume: 13.5%

Not much bouquet. Initial harshness overwhelms nice cab flavors. Improves somewhat with air exposure in glass. Disappointing for label and vintage. Not worth the price.

Style:Earthy & Spicy

When you can get this on sale for $17-$19 a bottle, it's a great deal. Typical Napa cab, not outstanding but a good everday drinkable wine. Consistent between vintages.

Style:Big & Bold

I am going to wait another year for this one. The bottle we drank took a long time to open up somewhat, but did not fully do so. Even 2nd day...a little thin and maybe acidic early, it got better, but...I know it's a 2009 so we're going to give this case some time to develop.

Same tune, nice oakey cab for $17 a bottle, but not worth the now price of $29
