  Napa and Sonoma, January 2024: Part of a tasting at the tasting room.
  
  Notes of red plum, blueberry, walnut. Fruit-forward on the palette. Definitely would benefit from more time in the bottle, but already drinking well.

  A concentrated, bold Napa Valley Cab with layers upon layers of crème de cassis, sweet oak, caramel, cocoa. Lots of tannins, high acidity, good length. The magic is not yet here, but the quality is undeniable.
  Needs 5-10 years or may be even more than that.

  Very good but the tannins are still imposing. Wait a few more years…or at least decant much longer than an hour.

  Great dark fruits - sweet tannins that linger (for more than a minute.) Dark Chocolate (definitely eat dark chocolate with this!) blackberries, blueberries. This is still very youthful without much tertiary notes. I will definitely save some of this for the next decade just to see how it evolves. Drink or Hold.
