  Last bottle of three. In perfect drinking window, although give it a little air-won't need decanting. Textbook wonderful Napa Cab. Don't see long-term aging on this. I'd drink this year or early next.

  There was bottle variation between my 10/17 note and this note. I think the prior bottle was slightly corrupted.
  This was everything you want a Napa Cab to be. Dark, brooding, elegant but not timid. 100% varietally correct and there was a touch of menthol or something similar we attribute to perhaps the grapevines being near eucalyptus trees. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being robust and 1 being thin and tasteless, would give this a 7.5-8, so a bit on the robust side, but not overwhelmingly so. Everything seemed well-balanced, surprisingly drinking well (earlier than we are used to), so pop and enjoy!
  As good as this is, do not see long-term aging...the tannins are already receding.

  Fruit forward, drinking nicely, with slight alcohol finish. Still deciding whether time in the bottle will soften the wine. Drink another in a few months

  IGNORE THIS AND SEE 11-09-2021 entry.
  I'm a little hesitant with my numerical rating because the pulled cork showed that wine escaped to nearly the top of the cork, but not all the way. So, maybe a little air got in. Still, very good but not enough depth and character to get to 90 or over.
  A fruit-forward style of Cab that wass 100% varietally correct and was in exactly the right place for consumption (i.e. ready now).
  Not sure I see long-term aging with this given lack of serious tannins.
  We have 2 more bottles, and we'll be consuming those soon, so more to come.
