Path and poured through a sieve as the back end of the cork crumbled into the bottle. Moderate sediment. Dark ruby color. Nice classic nose of red fruits, earthy spices. Very classic Napa cab. Big and bold for sure. Very new worldean!. Good structure top to bottom. Fruit still up front and center. Excellent with marinated tri-tip tonight. Held up well second day without any special treatment. A pleasure to drink. Lots of life in this one.

Beautiful wine that teetered on the edge... primary fruit was faded into dark red and blue fruit notes with prominent wood and spice notes. I would have expected the tannins to be less sharp. Paired with a pork ragu, balanced the entire meal experience.

Mature nose and blueberry palate, nice structure, resolved tannins and smooth finish. A pleasure to drink, however would say the 2013 Hidden Ridge 55% slope was superior on this evening. w-dad during the self-quarantine.

Decanted and poured. Following on the heels of the '04 Bond Pluribus, this wine seemed more red fruited and round. Still a bigger styled wine, but softer and more loamy earth on the finish. Mature but not anywhere close to over the hill.
