Hello from 2024, tasting well and fully resolved straight out of the bottle. Easy 12.5 abv, wonderful revisit to what NorCal Cabernet used to be

Drinking fine, inoffensive and juicy but doesn't challenge in any way -- arguably no more interesting than it was 3 years ago. I'd say it makes for a lovely everyday drink and leave it at that. Enjoy soon.
