January 12, 2013 - Briefly decanted and served with pear steak and gousse d'ail steaks, napa cabbage and fried oyster mushrooms. Served in parallel with Heitz 2002 Cab. At first it was very tight and sour, but opened by the end of the meal to an enjoyable, somewhat acidic sweet cab without much complexity. Considering how keen I was on this wine a few years ago, I wonder what happened--- did the charms fade with time or has my palate steered away from wines of this type? Drink now if you have any left.

September 13, 2011 - Day 1: Decanted for about 40 minutes to accompany a meal of slow-cooked pork loin and braised collards. Classic big cab fruit nose, still tasting cherry and cassis but an overripe plum note and weak tannins suggest that it's over the hill. One more bottle left and I should drink it ASAP. 83 points
Day 2: Had with pasta and tomato/onion/sausage pasta then later with Bellweather's Carmody cheese. Much improved. Deeper, more supple fruit and mid-palate with velvety tannins. Maturing into a really nice wine. Will hold the last bottle for another year and will decant long. 86 points -

April 17, 2010 - cassis, red currants blended with intergrated into the oak now. Doesn't feel like wood chip shavings from a couple of years back. Has a fair amount of tannins to withstand at least another two years. May still have another run
