  January 21, 2022 - Decanted for an hour; should have given it two. Restrained cab fruit and round tannins to start. Much richer palate and nose 30-60 minutes later. Excellent Napa cab that's ready now and will hold for at least another 3-5 years.

  September 9, 2021 - Another excellent showing. If you are into big fruity wines, cant do much better than this at <$50/bottle.

  December 23, 2020 - Opened 4 hours ahead. Nice aromatics of licorice, cassis and a touch of earth. Medium plus body, black fruits and some secondary notes of tobacco, licorice and earth. Still plenty of life, maybe losing a bit of fruit and gaining secondary notes. Bottle 7 of 8. 93 points.

  May 10, 2020 - Drank over 3 days. I find some Ramey wines to be overly fruity and sometimes too sweet to enjoy. This wine has just enough fruit. Has well integrated tannins but held up well over the 3 day period without losing its structure or fruit. So I think this can drink well for at least few years. Surprisingly little sediment vs. other mature Rameys I had in the past. Worth the price I paid (~$50).
