January 24, 2024 - PnP. Aromas of blackberry, cassis, leather, tobacco, black raspberry, and slightly floral. Loaded with flavor, showing blackberry, black raspberry, cassis, anise, leather and tobacco. Medium bodied. Moderate smooth tannins in the long finish. Showing well now, but should have a long life ahead of it.

June 10, 2023 - Excellent wine. Not a ton to add to the great notes from others. Definitely better after a solid decant and the smoky, gravely, fruity. Still plenty of time

January 19, 2023 - An easy drinker now but I would hold drinking more of the Calistoga for another couple of years. We very much enjoyed the bottle tonight, and don’t have any problem drinking it now since it is delicious, but know that the best is yet to come for our remaining bottles.

Big nose with blackberry, cassis, leather, tobacco, black raspberry, floral. similar flavors of blackberry, black raspberry, cassis, anise, and tobacco. Medium bodied. Moderate smooth tannins in the long finish. Very good nw, but should have a long life ahead.
