  Outstanding from the very first pour - really can't imagine what this is going to be like when the nominal CT drinking window opens up in a couple of years. Ready for business now.

  Early in its drinking window, but very enjoyable. Tannins are still present, but an hour of air really opens this up. Balanced and not your typical Napa cab, looking forward to trying the rest of my bottles over the next few years. 92 now, higher in the future.

  I was left scratching my head with this wine. The nose was nice, with typical cab notes, and nothing noticeably flawed. But, for the first two hours, there was no mid-palate, and a very short finish. Later, and by day 2, the wine seemed to fill out a bit, but seemed soft with no complexity or tension.

  I brought this to a recent Cali Cab dinner and found it to be a solid example of big ripe Cali Cab blends. I had double decanted prior to bringing but doubt it was needed. Many will love this wine but I found it a little big for my liking and likely won't buy again. The score reflects my view of the wine within the genre of Cali cab / Cab blends and not so much my personal taste. This is not Bordeaux like.
