2nd night. Opened and poured. Very nice, smoother, more balanced, with lots of texture & depth. Nice fruit and oak! Always like what Molly Hill & Mike Trujillo do (did!) with their CS Wines!

Coravin’d a large glass, leaving the rest for tomorrow. Another lovely bottle. I just really like their CS, and always have. I don’t think they get the recognition they deserve. Solid 92 Pointer, and honestly, I grade hard. This wine tickles my taste buds very nicely!

A very nice and solidly made/built Napa CS. Decanted for 90 minutes. Big, rich, dark and exceptionally smooth and balanced. Rich is fruit, primarily black fruit and plum with nice oak, leather and graphite.
Paired this with a grilled (& lightly Red Oak Smoked) Filet Mignon. Not a lot of fat (obviously), but a great combination.
4 hours later it began to fade though. Got a little thicker, fruit faded, but still smooth and balanced. I think at this point of time, this is “decant and drink sort of quick” type of wine. Will probably drink my other bottles within the next year. I suspect this is at its peak, possibly a bit over.
A Solid 92 Pointer and a Very Good QPR.

Drank with Sam’s parents and with sushi. It was good. I get some slight cherry notes. Upon opening, definitely a little tight. Needs to breathe a bit.
