June 3, 2020 - Anniversary treat. PNP. cork perfect. Color dark with browning edges. Nose shows Dark fruit w some minty eucalyptus tinged oak and hint of bell pepper. The tannin is mostly resolved and this is really well balanced. the plummy fruit is holding this together nicely. Awesome with ribeyes.

December 20, 2016 - 1991 California Cabernet Retrospective @ The Milling Room (New York City): A pleasant surprise, still holding on with lovely herbal tones. Mint, celery seed, eucalyptus and soft, earthy red fruits. Elegant and ready to drink, if perhaps not already on a slow decline.

June 15, 2014 - Past it's prime, a great wine that is on the down hill slide. Dark red with bricking around the edges, and a lot of sediment in the bottle.

May 18, 2014 - sadly, this was corked (though the color was still quite dark, youthful)
