June 11, 2016 - Pop and pour. Still has a lot of life. Blueberry pie filling, chalky black fruit, vanilla, and cassis liqueur. Classic Napa.

April 19, 2011 - Fantastic cab. A little closed on opening but within a couple hours was really singing. Lush mouthfeel, very well balanced, with no one note coming to the fore for more than an instant. Dark fruits, vanilla & oak, cedar, chocolate - all were there in turn. Nice long finish. Strangely, didn't really shine as we ate it with the grilled ribeyes, but was at its best when drunk by itself. Second night: this is not nearly as good as the first night.

October 22, 2010 - Black color. Big black currant aroma with a tomato leaf element. Full entry of ripe red currant that is focused on the palate & then turns chalky & slightly bitter on the finish. Needs air, age or food to shine.
