'00 Tobin James Silver Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

[Innkeeper]

Popped and drank over the last two nights the '01 version. It came in the Spring '04 shipment. List price was then $38. Alcohol level is now 14.3%. Age wise, it was good to go; with little more potential likely.

Having said all that, it was a great wine! Gives a strong dose of red and black fruit on the nose and upfront. More concentration of fruit in the earthy complexity in the middle, along with perfectly smooth tannin. The finish lingered nicely.

Matched it with loin ends rubbed with Morton rub and sauteed in EVOO the first night, and burgers last night.

This will be the last bottle of wine till the end of January.
