December 18, 2023 - What a fabulous expression of California Cabernet Sauvignon. Just over the mountain ridge on the Sonoma side. This wine has the characteristics of a Napa Valley “Grand Cru,” if I can respectfully use that term. Layers upon layers of goodness. This wine is one of the best Cabernet Sauvignons I have ever tasted. Great juice.

August 12, 2023 - Better with air and pivot time. Still inky black in color, Chocolate, coffee, spice and cigar box on the nose, softened, rich, full bodied, with black cherry, chocolate, cola, and moderating tannins with a gorgeous finish. Better at this stage, opened up more, pretty marvelous

July 20, 2023 - Almost black in color. Lots going on in the nose, cedar, coffee, and baking spice. Still young, tannic, blackberry fruit, barbecue, some oak and needed more time than I gave it

June 16, 2023 - Dark purple color with very slight fading at the edges. Plums and cherries on the nose. Smooth yet intense on the palate, plums, black cherries, blackberries, licorice, bitter-sweet chocolate. Sweet tobacco notes on the mid-palate with soft, warm spices. Fine tannins, vibrant acidity, great balance. Persistent finish of bitter chocolate and black cherries. Gorgeous wine. Drink next 10 years.
