January 26, 2014 - Soft nose with bing cherries and cedar flowing to a darker cherry, mineral, wood and blue berry hints. Pared beautiful with a Barrel House Tavern pork chop. Should drink well several more years.

November 25, 2010 - Thanksgiving 2010 (Brenda and Don's): This was my pick for Thanksgiving dinner with quite a few cab lovers. Thought is might be a good compromise because of the weight and heft and it hit the mark.
Vinituri/Decant for 3 hours.
Very dark color which foreshadows what lies ahead.
Nose: If tasted blind I'd probably get the varietal correct but would have bet big money this was an '08 "wildfire wine" because there is lots of campfire smoke with cherry peeking through.
Palate: Big, bold PN, there is no finesse here which doesn't scare me off. the smoke is present through the finish.
Finish: Medium/+ finish and a heavy body for PN. -

September 30, 2010 - Leggy with ample chalkiness. Thin garnet red and smooth with lingering tannins. Meaty.
