August 8, 2018 - Medium to dark purple going garnet. Clear rim. Blackberry to black cherry and a touch of oak. Black cherry and leather pallet. After decanting it’s balanced acid and tannins. Now is the time.
January 20, 2018 - Decanted This isn’t off. It is medium purple just going garnet. Nice clean fruit and cedar with a hint of green tobacco. Tannins are mellow and acid spot on. Really at a peak.
November 19, 2017 - Going garnet with a good purple rim. Slightly corked nose with blackberry backing. Never had such subtle corked smell and taste.
August 5, 2016 - Enjoyed this evening with friends. We consumed it before dinner with Italian salami and cheese. Not too dry and no lasting after taste.
July 10, 2016 - I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised given the reviews. Well put together, balanced, drinks easy.
January 13, 2015 - A well constructed California cab that delivers for the price. Give it a chance to breathe for an hour. Not big or particularly complex, but I don't find the flaws that other reviewers have reported.
November 23, 2014 - Took an hour to open. Cherry vanilla molasses aroma emerged. Semi sweet smooth finish with pepper notes.
September 14, 2014 - Good, easy drinking cab. Nose fairly muted. Blackberry with a little pepper and tannin. Fruit forward. Moderate finish.
September 9, 2014 - Tart, vanilla, no finish & sweet aftertaste. No structure.
April 5, 2014 - Rich and luscious with a lingering dark berry finish. Best if let to breathe about 60 minutes.
