One of our project wines from the 2011 vintage. This one named after our youngest son. It is really drinking great right now. Very smooth and balanced with nice dark fruit black pepper. The finish is smooth with light tannins. Went great with our beef stew.

Quite nice. Not as good as the 2010 enjoyed earlier tonight, but clearly identifiable as Napa Cab and one I’m happy to drink (or gift as I do most of the CT barrel wines with our personalized labels.)

Ran through an aerator five times to provide air and then left for an hour. Lots of strong black cherry and blueberry fruit, leather, oak and earth. Nuanced and long- finished.

good, not great. A bit thin in extraction and not as complex as the Howell Mountain

no formal notes, as this was consumed at a family dinner.
slow ox for about 5 hours, but second half of the bottle definately better than first, so I'll go for a 2 hour regular decant next time.
Very well balanced bottle with cherry and baked plum as the main fruit impression, med+ aftertaste.
In a very good place now and will likely hold for a couple of years.
