as part of a two-part tasting (from uncle victor’s stash), with a lovely cheese and charcuterie platter with pickles and fruit to garnish. this wine was tasted double blind and i pegged it as a mid 2000s cali cab. ...i think that speaks to how honest and true it is to its style. unapologetically big, bold and robust. fruit in abundance but with balance and poise. good structure to hold it all together. this was firing on all cylinders and if you're lucky enough to find some from this boutique winery, get your hands on it. you won't be disappointed. highly recommended.

Popped and poured. Still with big bold dark fruit. Tannins mostly tame. Drinking very well. Has some years to go still.

Ensemble fondu, tout est intégré. Fruit bien mûr et finale veloutée.
