Community Tasting Note

  October 13, 2022 - Purple for days. Incredible color on this from first sight. This was absolutely juicy and absolutely focused. A very unique combination of two attributes not usually able to coexist in any sort of harmonious entanglement. However, Mike has blended them into co-habitation here, and done so quite well. From pop and pour this was juicy and delicious, but not too revealing. Very interested to see where this goes in the next couple years.

I love the 2018 and 2019 vintages of this wine. In my opinion, the 2020 Quivet Napa cab is already showing quite well with a decent decant/slow ox. Take care.
