    November 28, 2023 - In great shape! Coming in at 13.7 percent preserved this Napa under the radar winery. Drink up

    September 8, 2023 - Dark red at the core, fading to the edges. Slightly harsh and plummy on the nose. Bright and precise on the palate, but harsh, cherries and spice. Heat shows through. Sharp tannins, harsh acidity. Out of balance at this point. Finishes short and plummy. Well past peak. I have always liked the Tom Eddy cabs and they do age well. This one was just past the drinking window. Should have drunk it 3 years ago.

    October 19, 2019 - Double decanted two hours before service. Great tertiary flavors. Would be best with food at this point. Drink up within the next two years.

  • Border Boss Likes this wine:

    December 31, 2018 - Decanted two hours before service. Medium red with some browning. Good flavors of red fruits with medium tannins. There's some volatile acidity that's a bit off-putting. Fully mature. Drink up.

    April 2, 2017 - Tried this after being impressed by the 02'. Opened, decanted and drank over 3 days. This bottle was likely past its prime. Very light tannins. Cherries on the palate. It did open up over time, but not as much as the 02'.
