October 24, 2023 - My only one, out of half bottle. Dense, opaque coloring with ruby to garnet edges. Smells like cedar, wood spice, graphite, dark fruits, and orange peel. Full body, medium acid and finish, with flavors of dark fruits, but tart, lemon, orange, and black tea. Tannins are still a little grippy, but the fruit is faded and I don't think it'll outlive them. It's actually a little long in the tooth now. I'm still enjoying it, but I like 'em dusty.

May 25, 2020 - Aged to perfection - right from the bottle, opened up well - true Miner wine that met every expectation.

September 2, 2019 - This is the last of six 375’s purchased back in early 2015. All were excellent and consistent from bottle to bottle. Discernible as being a mature Oakville Cabernet with very, dry dusty tannins; mostly dry, red, and some cooked black fruits, with dry, red, cracked earth and a well framed structure. “Old school” style and a long finish. If you’re looking for a big, modern, juicy fruit bomb, this isn’t it!

May 14, 2016 - Dark ruby color. Drank from a 375. Smokey cherry, with a mix of black and red currant, dark berries, and sour dark earth. As expected dry mouthfeel and bit on the austere side. Old school style. Still showing plenty of structure, some charred oak, and an acidic backbone. Long finish. Lots of life left in this.
