  I bought this wine at a tasting with the owner many years ago when they first started this winery. This is a big, bold wine but isn’t really made for longer term aging and lacks some complexity. The color is a medium purple-red with definite bricking staring to appear at the rim. We drank decanted. Initial nose was promising - good fruit backbone with some lingering notes of smoke and a faint hint of green pepper. But as the evening wore on (2 hours+), the wine did not evolve and no other secondary elements were present. Very strong fruit here - black, red, blue but little tannin to back it up. Still a nice bottle, unmistakably California but don’t think it has a long aging trajectory ahead of it. For similar price points, I’d rather recommend Melka, Corison or Tor Kenward.

  To date, the best bottle of any of my Boich reds I have had. Moral is you cannot rush any of them.
  
  This is absolutely delicious. Big, bold, fruity and balanced with a long finish. It’s just so enjoyable. Something to savored not quaffed.
  
  Time to move all my remaining bottles to a lower rack and let them keep sleep to at least 10 years.

  Typical 2013 Napa cab. Still big and burly. Suggest lots of air or a few more years of aging.

  Tasted at the winery. 90% cabernet 10% cab franc. Deep red color with slight haze. Aromatic with some age. Aromas of green pepper, red cherry and pie crust. Dry with a full body. Fresh acidity with high tannins. Fair balance with moderate flavors of black cherry, red apple and green pepper. Long finish. Ok.
