  June 27, 2021 - Still drinking well several years beyond the guesstimated drink-up date. I don't see why it won't keep on for at least another couple years. I decanted the wine about 3 hours before dinner and took a quick first taste. It seemed slightly pruney then, so I decided to re-decant and let it get a lot of airtime until dinner. Happily. that was the right call. It was a very good pairing with grilled ribeyes. Cathy said she smelled black cherry on the nose. I also thought it had a long finish. Based on some others' previous comments, I wasn't sure it would hold up -- even had a backup ready - 2002 d'Arenberg Coppermine Road cab from Aussie-land. Look forward to trying that another time. The Hestan Meyers Vineyard held its own very nicely. IMO.

  February 19, 2013 - Not as good as my previous bottle from a year ago, but still an outstanding wine... if you are in the mood for a nice fruit-forward California Cab!

  September 23, 2012 - Hard to believe a member in our club said this was their wine of the night. Stewed fruit and damp earth featured here. Terrible wine.
