Super concentrated. Defined vanilla and hint of oak on the nose with a distant rose petal. Decanting doesn't hurt it. Just enough tannin and lots of smooth black fruit. Very nice.
Plenty of fruit, blueberry, hint of cedar, tobacco and oak. Nice.
Showed its age in a good way. Blackberry, leather, cured meats, mocha and herbs. Solid tannins and smoky spice, oak and cedar. Midnight yummy.

Columbia Crest Cabernet Sauvignon Walter Clore Private Reserve 2005
Starting at $31.29 Snoothrank: 3.5/5
"Great! I was just going to start adding my wines today! The one that stood out was the '04 Hess Mount Veeder Cab Sauv. But I ended up tasting 12 other non-Hess wines. Don't know how that happened!

Glad to see it will be warming up back east any minute now!"

"So how was the Hess event? Too cold this past weekend to really enjoy the whites but it looks like 68 next saturday so if the sun is out it might be time for some shelfish and Sauvignon Blanc!"
