October 2, 2022 - Ribeyes, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, brussel spouts. Cork was bad, but wine was stellar

March 19, 2021 - Perfect drinking window right now. Has a few more years, but won’t get any better. Drink now.

December 13, 2020 - I said it was peaking in 2015. I was wrong. It is still improving and may not peak for a few more years. Giving it a peak of 2024. A spectacular wine you should not miss if you love Napa Cabs.
