  Generally consistent with my notes 4.5 years ago, but much more accessible and evolved. Paired nicely with broiled filet and roasted garlic potatoes. Drink 2024-2028. Technical score: 89. Enjoyment score: 91.

  Earthy tones, with cherries and berries with a hint of vanilla. A bit skinny in the mouth. Still Tannic and would still age well. Alas, my last bottle. More expensive than it is warrants, in my opinion.

  Just the way I like Napa Cabs: Old School, a bit austere, lots of red currant, structured, big finish. Still developing with 5-7 years of cellar potential. Perennially always consistent.

  Opened and decanted an hour ahead of grilled burgers, potato salad, and summer fixings. Dark crimson color with a purple hue. The nose brings candied cherries, cherry blossoms, pipe tobacco, cigar, dried leather, and blackberry pie. The palate is medium-full, acidic, compact, and tight, bringing cherries, raspberries, redcurrant, blackberry custard, dark plums, charred campfire wood, and candied strawberries into the tannic finish. Drink 2022-2030. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment Score: 92.
