May 2, 2021 - So consistent and amazing over the last 3 years! Smooth right after opening and the complexity remains within the fruit. As it opens, blue berry and raspberry mix with pepper spice. Spice is muted with vanilla. The balance is what you expect from Napa big reds. There’s a residual base that just lingers. Love it!

August 2, 2020 - PNP..in a good place and no need to decant as there was very little sediment. Slightly more earth than fruit but well balanced. More red fruit than dark, and some leather and dust. Long smooth finish. No upside going forward so drink up next couple years...

December 24, 2019 - - Brick color with medium forming legs. It's balanced with a full body. Satin-Like texture with a long finish - Christmas blessings and great wine!
