'00 Tobin James Silver Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

[Innkeeper]

2000 Tobin James, Silver Reserve, Paso Robles, Cabernet Sauvignon ($28 but came with the Spring ’03 shipment which was still $110.00). Alcohol level: 13.6%. How much has changed in three years!

Since all TJ wines are allegedly drinkable on release, we scheduled this one for this year. It was still very nicely approachable, and not in the dumb stage, and don’t know how much more it might improve.

It was fantastic folks!! And it was their first Silver Reserve Cab. It gives you huge black fruit including blackberries, black currents (cassis), and black cherries on the nose and upfront. Coming from several Paso vineyards fruit, it was rich, deep with Paso dirt, and complex across the palate, and the finish was a 4 lapper.

Matched it with broiled (it was raining) rib eyes seasoned with EVOO and Morton Rub, hard rolls, and salad. What a Saturday night dinner!!! Thank you Lord.
