February 20, 2010 - An excellent wine, and holding fast - this could make it another several years cellared. Like the Andrew Will Sorella of the same vintage, concentrated for its age. Not yet in its prime, I feel. There is a mysterious green vegetal brightness in the tart "good tannin" that I think will be very pleasant as the structure plays out. 89 with an extra two points for potential.

February 17, 2010 - Wines of Washington State (Fort Collins): Interesting old WA Cab; aged but still pretty dense. The drinking window is clearly wrong on this one, it has a ways to go yet but it's approachable now. Green olive & bell pepper nose, a little sour. Good structure, long finish. I'd pair this with food for sure.

November 29, 2008 - Garnet red with good clarity. The nose is a Bordeaux like with some leather, cigar, dark berries, and cedar. The palate as soft well integrated tannin with medium acids, medium weight, nice sweet ripe fruit, and a nice finish.
