  November 9, 2017 - Gentle and gracious, with plenty of restrained, balanced fruit. More savory than racy, no edges, a real treat.

  June 4, 2016 - As I struggled mightily to extract the cork, I could hear my wife mumble: "See? You always wait too long!" I was worried, thinking she might just be correct. Once the cork was out and there was some wine in the glass, it was clear that her hasty assessment was off-base. This was an impressive wine with good fruit solid depth. Really nice. Outstanding. thedrunkencyclist.com

  December 3, 2012 - My wife, who tries her best around wine, claimed that this is one of the best cabs she has had in a long time. She stated: "I like this! It does not taste like a bag of dried cherries. It does not cling to the back of your throat like jam. I'd give it at least a 95. While I am not as effusive about this wine, it is pretty darn good. A bit vegetal on the nose, but a perfect pairing with the Tri-Tip.

  March 8, 2012 - Fill into neck, cork fully stained on one side, with dried residue on top. Allowed to breathe in glass 20 minutes before tasting. Clear deep dark garnet-blood-ruby. "Funky" bouquet of meat and saddle soap that subsided after an hour to reveal some stewed red plums melded with oak and bitter herbs. Past prime, possibly heat damaged.
