Jan 2024 at its peak, just starting to feel like some dust. Mild tannins and smooth, without sweetness and with solid structure. Good ripe fruit that matched a garlic covered filet. If you have any, take them now, at peak.

Rich, savory, this shows classic Napa Valley aromas and flavors black cherries, currants, oak, and eucalyptus. This is restrained but it is generous for its impeccable structure and Old School Napa character. It is just now coming into its own and shows tremendous length on the espresso finish. Lovely.

Wow, this is good. Mushrooms, eucalyptus, and candied farm aroma on the nose. Dark fruit, plum licorice, and pecan caramel on the palate. Finish is well balanced and satisfying with caramel from a bourbon barrel, mushrooms from the farm, and gentle tannins persisting for minutes afterwards.

Very solid cab, good value. Open knit fruit with some good structure. Caseworthy really at this price - perfect midweek wine or crowd-pleaser. I've been to the winery too - one of the better values in Napa.

90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc & 4% Petit Verdot.
Decanted 45m. Mixed berry compote, forest floor, hookah, baking spice, leather, cherry.
This is showing its age beautifully.
