November 5, 2022 - Great color and nose. High tannin that costs the mouth. Good acidity, and great finish

August 16, 2022 - Definitely recommend. A nice, inexpensive and now fully mature Napa cab that is a cut above an entry level Napa cab - quite a good QPR at the avg CT price making this a solid go-to at restaurants. Disagree with above drinking window - more like 2020 - 2028 or 2030 at prime. Drink or hold but leaning on the drink. At this point recommend at least a 60 minute decant if possible. Inky black, no bricking, starting to come together nicely with very present but controlled oak & tannins and still quite fruit forward - a crowd pleaser at this point although priced above the ideal crowd pleaser point. Medium length pleasant aftertaste. Nose warm and aromatic with dark stone fruit, kirsch and a black pepper finish. Typical flavor profile of stone fruit and cassis up front with blackberry, licorice and tobacco developing on the finish. Ideal pairing is big meat.

November 1, 2021 - Decanted for 90 minutes. Very similar to the other ‘21 bottle, a tad heat though, so going to move this down 1 Point to 91.
