January 15, 2024 - Decanted for 2 hours from magnum. Color and nose showed amazing age. Never would of thought this was over 20 yrs. Fresh chocolate and cassis. Paired amazing with homemade pasta and meatballs. This is in a great spot right now. Moderate complexity but great balance.

March 26, 2023 - Still alive with enough acidity to last another decade. However, I doubt it’s going to improve so drink up.

Again a very good Cali Cab from 2001. Still fresh and lots of clack currant and dark chocolate. At his top. Makes fun. Never heard about the winery. 94 -

February 18, 2021 - 2nd of several bottles w neighbors by candlelight during TX Snovidgeddon. Notes are after the fact but when I first opened this it was soft and seemed past its peak, but it added weight 45 minutes later.
Still shows its dark fruit pedigree beneath a deep coat of maturity and elegance. You’d guesss this as new world, but it’s punching well-above its price.
If I had any more of these (and I don’t) I would consume in the next 1-2 years simply because there’s more risk waiting than enjoying it today.
WOTN was a 13 Foley Mountain Merlot, 90 mins in the decanter.
Note:this bottle endured 3 relocations, each halfway across the country.
