Drank over 2 days, has an inky darkness with some greeness, dark Cherry, blk licorice, chocolate notes on the nose which translates to the palate. The wine has texture that reminds me of a light chocolate milk shake. The wine is delicious and has some life in it but I don’t think it will get that much better. Drink up!

In a very good place right now. Super fragrant nose that really stayed consistent throughout the night. Cassis, pencil shaving, ripe fruit, cacao. Good structure and well integrated. Over 3 hours it continued to improve.

Drank at Rich Table. Decanted at restaurant for 45 minutes before tasting. Dark in color with no real signs of brick. Still pretty tightly wound but continued to open in glass. Second glass showing much more balance and drank beautifully through the rest of dinner. Punchy mountain fruit, medium tannin, medium plus finish.

Took to a Napa Cab tasting ... this wine won the night against 8 other Napa cabs (Seavey, Mondavi Reserve, Dunn, David Arthur, Clos du Val Reserve, La Jota, Howell Mtn, Joseph Phelps Insignia, Gallica). Drank beautifully from start to finish, beautiful structure and mouthfeel. Very balanced, with long smooth finish. Powerful mountain fruit. Excellent wine.

Decanted briefly. This is still boldly structured with bright mountain fruit and minerality. Delicious and savory.
