December 27, 2018 - Very nice wine. Decanted for an hour before dinner. Big fruited nose. Black fruits and jams. Lingering aftertastes were nice.
January 16, 2018 - Delicious, but be sure to give it an hour or so in a decanter.
May 7, 2017 - Black cherry & raspberry on the palate. Gentle but deep mouth feel. Not too dry. Fruit flavors are enhanced by a little mocha flavoring, which influences the finish. Tasted over 2 days. Seemed to be a narrow window for perfect showcasing of when this wine tastes its best.
December 9, 2016 - It smells like black pepper, blackberry, chocolate and cherry. The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle.
February 26, 2016 - Work has my blood pressure off the charts so this seemed like the right bottle to help me try to wind down. Earthy aromas over old dry herbs and dark fruit base. Easy to drink with minimal air, there's a modestly dry coating of the palate with muted aged fruit and meat. Concur with the drink by date of 2018
February 6, 2016 - Opened without decanting. Forest red. I'm sure it can age 2-3 more years
December 10, 2015 - Excellent. Wish I had bought more.
November 24, 2015 - Drank with cousins - just a nice bottle to enjoy and relax before Thanksgiving holiday
October 22, 2015 - Exceptional. Kevin Morrissey does a wonderful job with cabernet from this property. This wine is really hitting its stride. The nose is all fruit and mushrooms now that some bottle age is doing its thing. The mid palate is huge and the finish lasts for over a minute. Mouth filling and gorgeous. This is a wine to savor. Pair with anything. Spam and eggs even. I dare you to find a way to spoil this wine. Mmmm.
October 17, 2015 - Popped and slow ox'd for around 45 mins. Medium purple color with a little bit of sediment. Nose of cassis, blackberry and some toasted oak notes. Similar flavors on the palate. Not much in terms of secondary characteristics at this point but very pure and delicious fruit. Medium+ acid, medium sweet tannins. Nice finish. Just a really delicious and balanced cabernet.
