Sampled 9/22/11. I had this wine about 6 months ago, and I fear my hopes that this wine would turn into a 90+ point gem are being dashed. Mostly the same as last time - some black cherries, green vegitable elements, some cassis in the background but the wine not only remains a little disjointed it starts to fall apart at the finish. Is this really a gem of a wine that is going into a dumb phase and will reemerge and hit its peak in 2020? I just don't think so but would be happy to be proven wrong.

Sampled 3/27/11. A nice enough Cab, that can generally be found at a pretty good price. Some black cherries, green vegitable elements, some red currants and cassis in the background but the wine drops a couple points on being still a little disjointed. It might come together in a few more years. If so, 90 or 91 point then and a bargain.

Good now, but I think this will be better in 3-5 years.

A sleek and polished wine with lots of tart blackberry notes and good oak integration. Tasty and easy to drink.

Solid Napa cab. Was much better on day 2 than day 1, though.
