  May 26, 2016 - Randy and Steve visit Cleveland (Napa vs. Bordeaux) (Colonial): Interestingly, this is a Cal Cab by a producer more know for his Oregon Pinot and Washington Cabs. It ended up being the biggest wine at the table. Some liked it more than I did. Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose has cassis, coffee and is a bit raisined. On the palate, the ripeness is evident. That said, it is in a good place with some tannins, depth and layers of complexity. Some coffee notes along with a lot of cassis. No hurry on this one. At around $42 on release, there is certainly some value in a Napa Cab sense here.

  April 19, 2015 - Much better than my previous bottle. Balanced, smooth, integrated tannins, dark fruit, very silky palate. Drank great by itself.

  April 28, 2014 - Plush red and black fruit, black tea, cassis, and spice on the nose with fruit and tea dominating the palate. Although acidity was medium, the wine was delicious now. Would not wait much longer on this one.

  January 29, 2014 - Strange little wine. Maybe the 1st cab I've ever tasted that I would rate a couple of points higher WITHOUT food. I found the nose to be forward and beautiful with dark fruit , lavender ,rose petals,(maybe a little petit Verdot), eucalyptus and ginger snaps. The taste is of mixed berry cobbler(raspberry and blueberry) with a hint of milk Chocolate. Soft tannins and enough acidity to hold it all together. However when paired beef picked up a hint of muskiness and a lot of tartness. Better to just drink and smooth enough to do so. Cool glass " cork "
