I just came upon 2 bottles priced at $24.95 and I bought both. If anyone has had this or has any info (I looked here but could not find anything) I would appreciate it! Thanks.

O, if it helps, I sampled the '96 Cold Creek several months back. I have several in my cellar. I was extremely pleased with its balance and density. Also, the round tannins were still prevalent enough to support further cellaring. IMO, WS' original 92 pt rating was right on. One would think that CSM did as good a job with the Reserve in '96 as it did with the (less expensive) Cold Creek offering.

Brando -
I had this recently. I had to dig a little for the fruit but if you decant for a 30 minutes to an hour and it should open up nicely.
