  Better than the previous bottles I have had. Opened an hour and a half before dinner. Red and black fruit on the nose. The palate was dark berries, dark cherry, red plums and tobacco leading to a moderately long finish. My wife really enjoyed this wine with a grilled steak.

  I have waited and waited for these 2013s to get to that optimal place but I think this will be as good as it gets. Drinking nicely and a typical still fruity although more mature fruits of plums and black cherries, nicely acidic. Some bitterness to the noticeably present tannins which might settle down with time, but the fruit isn’t getting any better. I would say drink now and appreciate for what they are, I don’t expect a big transformation.

  Opened an hour and a half before dinner. Red and black fruit on the nose. The palate was dark berries, dark cherry, red plums and tobacco. This bottle unlike the bottle I had 6 months ago did not show an overabundance of red fruit which was an improvement. The finish was moderate to long. It was a nice wine but I was not overly impressed.

  We pnp'd at dinner. It might have scored better with some time in a decanter. The nose was all fruit. The palate was black and red fruit, tobacco coffee and cassis. Maybe a little too much cassis. Other trackers mentioned the red fruit coming through. Perhaps decanting would soften it. It does not spoil the wine just takes away some of the enjoyment. I have a few more bottles and I will let them sit a while.

  This was very pleasant, but not as great as I had remembered previous bottles. At pnp had lovely aromas and seemingly some layers of complexity. But with a bit of air just a very, simple fruity basic Cali cab, a bit on the sweet side (it is a dry wine of course, but had that sweet fruit element). Every time I have had this wine I feel like there is something more in there waiting to come out, but it just doesn’t seem to happen. I have a few more bottles so we’ll see what happens, but right now I think it is fine but you can do much better for the price point
