March 11, 2023 - 2023 Napa in the City: Tasting & Lunch (The Pool/Grill): Very small taste. Wine was from a dinner the night before and a touch more tired and I think maybe even more so because this isn’t a year that has aged quite as well as everyone expected. So it goes. Still fun to get to try.

January 1, 2023 - Decanted from magnum 3 hrs before dinner. Wow. Classic Napa cab made in an old world style. Mature and integrated, yet still fresh. Drink now, but no rush - may not get better, but still has plenty of life.

January 29, 2022 - Dinner at Doug and Elaine's in North Palm Beach. Opened 3 hours ahead. On the nose beautiful black fruits, crushed rock and a hint of cedar. Medium bodied, pure cassis, earth and a touch of spice with a long smooth finish. Very nice structure and balance. Great bottle - fully mature but seems like it will stay at this level a long time. I can't say enough about this wine...one of the finest California Cabernets I have ever had. 97 points.
