    October 9, 2019 - OK. Your first thought is why 100. Well, this is my first 100 pt rating out of 2700 notes and god knows how many wines I have tasted over the last 50 years. Wine is youthful color, phenomenal palate feel, richness, expressive and long finish. Now drinking over 1 1/2 hrs. Could last (pristine Btl sourced from Wine bid) 10+ years. Seriously delicious. What else could you ask for. Not showing any age but WOW, complexity, acidity, lemon, OMG. Excited to see I have one more Btl. It's a buy if sourced right.

    June 15, 2018 - California Cabernet 2001/2002 Blind Tasting (Hughes House - Chicago IL): Served double blind alongside the 2003 vintage. Fully mature, just bright enough, with tropical fruit and baked apple. Still very tasty, but a few years past its peak.

    December 28, 2015 - Before tasting, I knew this was an Aubert but did not know vintage or vineyard. Blown away to know that this was 15 years old. Was fresh and lively out of the gate but had great weight and balance. Was described by someone else as a white for the winter and I couldn't have said it better myself. I would not plan on drinking this over any length of time as it did fade a little with time.
