August 7, 2021 - 1hr+ decant and could have used more. Dark red color with purple rims. Dense, fruit forward Cab. Lots of red and black fruit with some licorice and tar. Medium plus depth. Medium finish. Very nice and very California. 94.5 but rounding up.

April 17, 2021 - 1hr+ decant. Awesome as always and extremely consistent, see previous notes. Big French influence. Dark fruit and lots of earth and terroir. Finish could be longer, but these wines always rock!

November 22, 2019 - It’s Neal so it’s always a awesome! 1hr+ decant. Similar to previous notes although the oak was more prominent in this bottle. Fantastic! Would drink sooner rather than later.

July 21, 2019 - Definitely wins the award for heaviest bottle ever!! Must weigh twice that of a regular bottle.
Better than the ‘04 Corison Cab last night and at a lower price point.
Dark purple color. Nose contains cedar, cough medicine, and mild mushrooms. Wine actually has character and elements of terroir. Not all that common in Napa Cabs at this price point I’m discovering. Excellent gritty, sandy texture. Deep wine with black cherry fruit and mild smoke. Medium plus finish.
Neal rocks!!
