  Deep ruby in glass. Pronounced intensity on the nose. Blackberries, cassis, graphite and coconut. Tannins are mostly resolved and pretty well balanced for a 15% abv. Quite enjoyable to drink now but can easily hold for another 5+ years.

  Tremendous out of the blocks. Tasted just after release at the winery 9/2017. Silky smooth, latent power and longevity. Incredible for a new release of this type. Drink this now and for the next 30 years. 12/2017 tried again. Nose developing. Fruit is coming together. Still tight on finish. Tasted at the winery. 6/18 amazingly accessible for a young cab. This is fantastic now.

  Big fruit flavors and still fairly aggressive tannic structure. Never really rounded out despite prolonged slow-ox. May still improve a notch or two.

  Bold. Great now, but I'd probably hold it longer.

  Tasted blind among an eclectic mix of California Cabernets and next to a $2004 Dalla valle Maya. The wine ranked either number one or two among all testers, full-bodied, deep, rich, dark, purple color, loaded with black fruit, with a hint of spice and saddle, leather, on the pallet, highly viscous, mouth, coating, rich, black, cherry, and an extremely long finish… Classic California, but not over the top syrup like so many can be.
