It had great reviews. The bottle art is terrific, reminds me of DaVinci drawings. Antique paper look, line art, renaissance figures, enjoyable to look at, and attractive on the shelf. My local wine store recommended it highly as one I shouldn't miss and so I bought one of the last bottles they had. I cellared it. Waited for the right night to drink it. (That would be a night my wife was out of town since she doesn't like Cabernet that well.)
It has bright, red fruit. It has a nice mouth feel, but it's a bit light. It should have some structure, some tannins, but they seem weak to me. It wasn't unbalanced, and the fruit tasted terrific. IT has some oak components, with vanilla, mild chocolate, and a reasonable finish. At about $35 it's a fine California Cab. If that's what you like, give it a shot. Tasted February 26, 2009.
