had a single glass of this amongst friends who opened this. ahhh, this was good, but i believe it was opened too early. i have several of these in cellar and i believe it will be several more years at least before it's time.

95 pts from Wine Enthusiast! - "Cabernet collectors who look beyond Napa Valley should be aware of this wine. Its an important addition to the Alexander Valley pantheon, a densely layered young wine. Shows brilliant red stone fruit, cassis, cola, date nut bread, mocha and tangerine zest flavors gorgeously lavished with the vanilla and smoky caramel of oak. Just delicious now, and should slowly spread its wings for many years." S.H. (5/1/2008 Issue)
