Dark ruby to garnet, only the slighest bricking, and some sediment. Huge nose of mint, cedar, cassis, and black fruits are echoed nicely on the palate. Blackberries, blueberries, warm oak, and some spiciness. Mid-to full bodied, warm fruits on the finish.

Still holding nicely, another 2-3 yrs. if cellared properly. 89-91 pts., depending on if you like your CA cabs young or aged.
