February 24, 2024 - Another killer bottle of this. Black cherry, leather, mineral, graphite notes on the nose and on the palate. Really great energy on the palate with some structure framing everything perfectly. The finish really drives with lingering fruit. I don't know if the current version of the estate Cabernet will reach these height as they feel much more plush. Firmly in the zone. Fire at will.

June 17, 2023 - There is a leafiness here I've notice in other '99 Cabs. It has been distracting in many cases but with this dark SCM fruit its able to fold in nicely. This is nicely mature with light tannin still here to keep the finish complete. The fruit has kept its dark character along with some classic stoniness and graphite. Lovely character being cool and powerful at the same time. Very good. In a good place where it should be for quite some time. Full on tertiary characters are probably still a ways off.

August 9, 2021 - As with any 20 year olds wine. You can’t be quick to judge. At first I tasted big tannins and acid. It needed a bit to open and balance out. There was quite a bit of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Lovely wine in the end.

October 7, 2012 - Great example of Santa Cruz Mts. Cabernet Sauvignon. Held up nicely & maintained that mountain structure without dominating the fruit flavors. Good job.
