Very concentrated wine. All brit though. If you do not like brit, you won't like this. I like it and I thought that it was a little overwhelming after a while. more reminiscent of a cotes du rhone than a california wine. I got some fruit but it was hidden by the brit. Very enjoyable still and worked well with the lamb roast we ate that night.
I would give it 88 overall.

Ummm... hopefully I'm not the only one who doesn't know this, but...

What's "brit"?

Make Cab, not War.

Think he means brett or barnyard on the nose etc.
Had this about a year ago and decided to let it rest for a few years. Did not notice an overabundance of the barnyard.

Cheers!
And remember: Life's too short to drink bad wine.

sorry about the spelling. Definitely smelled like a barn.
