Decanted for several hours via slow ox then 2 hrs in decanter. Sweet fruit forward and a little primary at first. Maybe 91-92. After several hours it improved in complexity and finished up a 93- 94. Very pleasant wine in the end if you like Kirk's style. HMC

another great cab from Kirk Venge. 100% cabernet sauvignon.
This comes from a single 60 acre oakville vineyard - Renteria, at the northeast edge of oakville, just below Rutherford. I am guessing this is along Skellinger lane
gave it an hour in the decanter. black and blue fruits - blackberries, cassis, hints of chocolate and anise on the nose. full bodied, medium length, nice finish. integrated tannins

Classic single vineyard Oakville. Kind of a hedonistic structure from Venge that developed with time.

Fruit a bit muddled. Dry finish. Wait a year before trying again.
