  Day 1: Replacement after the severely corked bottle. This is amazing for $35. Blueberries, mild funk, spice, coffee beans, minerals and dust. Concentrated and balanced and good acidity. A real winner. 93 points
  Day 2: Not as good and a little green on day 2. Sour cherries, blueberries, coffee beans, green pepper, minerals and earth. Lacks the concentration of day 1. Based on this drink this wine sooner than later and pop and pour and enjoy. 89 points
  Day 3: A tad better with sour cherry, spice, coffee beans, green pepper, minerals, cigar, minerals and crushed berries. Medium finish and a bit sour hence the lower score than day 1. 90 points
  Recommendation: I would drink these within the next few years. The pop and pour was excellent. This is not a 3 DAY WINE!

  If you ever had a class on corked wines this would be the situation to teach the student. Sad too as it was $35 but of course will return.

  I remember really liking this wine, about 20+years ago...but I don’t remember it being this good. I’ve always loved Cab from Alexander Valley even more than Napa (save for S.O.) and this is a great mid-level exemplar of the potential from this area. Might be worthy of a point or two more but...
