September 20, 2023 - and still fresh with enjoyable balance of red fruit, minerals and oak. Pleasant juice with a filet.
The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. -

August 6, 2022 - Before writing this note I reviewed my notes on this wine from '09, '10 and '16. 100 % cabernet. Cork pristine when tonged out. Fully evolved now with fruit still there but secondary notes coming through strongly. Drink or hold but leaning heavily on the drink - I would recommend drinking up any remaining holdings in the next couple years - probably slightly past prime but not yet degrading in any significant way. Highly recommend, drinking beautifully and at this point of maturation quite a good QPR wine at our acquisition price way back in the day. Reddish purple, peripheral bricking present, soft mouthfeel, complex and fully integrated, medium bodied and with a lovely medium length aftertaste. Oak & tannins present but very soft and fully integrated. Fruit probably starting to drop off a bit. Nose dark, soft and more muted with plum, black cherry, violet, black pepper and a distinct smokey finish. Primary flavors up front included dark fruit, cassis and blackberry giving way to earthier notes of stone, leather, black tea and a smokier and less floral note on the finish. Another example of how beautiful a well made and properly aged high end CA cab can evolve into. 1 bottle left of the original case of 12 and will probably drink it by if not for New Year's.

June 30, 2022 - Dark fruit, smooth on the palate. Cork damaged, but able to decant the wine cleanly. Wine itself was great, after an hour of decanting. Drink now!

June 12, 2022 - Nice dark fruit on the front and a smooth balance on the palate, low to moderate minerality with light tannins and low acidity. Harkens to the 100% Cabernet! Don't wait much longer.
