February 8, 2024 - One of the best cabernets ever! Full of life and vigor with great fruit flavors, mouthfeel, aftertaste and purity. This wine was just amazing!

December 23, 2023 - Decanted 30 minutes. Fruit forward and easy drinking. Not much tanin, though what is there softened over next few hours. Hoping other vintages are more complex as this leaves a little to be desired. Not going to die any time soon, but not sure that it improves much from here though another 5+ years could lead to some tertiary notes.

November 5, 2023 - Decanted one hour. Opens with aromas of black cherries, blueberries, black raspberry, floral and spice. Much more open than the last bottle. Loaded with rich flavors of black cherry, black raspberry, floral, spice, and earth. . Long finish with medium tannins showing up.

September 30, 2022 - Decant, do not PnP. Starts with aromas of black cherries, blueberries, black raspberry, floral and spice. Very tightly knit flavors, needs time to open. Black cherry, black raspberry, floral, spice, earth. medium to full bodied. Long finish with medium tannins showing up. Better in a few years.
