Delicious. Really classy Cali Cab! In really good shape after 20 minutes of air. Drink now or over the next 3 to 5 years. Could hold it longer but don’t see it getting that much better with age.

Excellent wine. Well-balanced. Not fully open for business but still drinking beautifully today with good ripeness on the medium to dark fruit profile. Drink or hold. Could get slightly better with a couple of years of aging but certainly worth opening a bottle or two today if you have multiple bottles of this wine.

They can be drunk now, but I am definitely holding onto the Cappella S. Stefano for a while longer. They are finally shedding some of their oak though the fruit is still a little primary. The '04s are ready now.
That was a great buy on the Pousse! They have quickly turned into one of my favorite producers under their new winemaker.

Pegau varies a lot vintage to vintage and really seems to be more of a reflection of the wild character of each vintage. I think fondly of 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010. They are each like different children and all beautiful in their own way.

Drinking great right now. Beautifully balanced but definitely has some ripe Napa fruit. I thought this was a very classy wine. Cheers!
