Community Tasting Note

  • Franken Berry wrote: 92 points

    November 5, 2023 - This suffered a bit next to the 18 Jones The Sisters I drank next to it. Gave this two hours slow ox. Blue and black fruited, cassis, plums, blackberries. Hint of spice, cedar. Medium in weight and length. A bit lacking on the finish. Nice balance, structure. A bit hot on the finish which throws off the harmony.
    100% Cabernet from a single vineyard in St Helena. 90% new oak.

    It’s well made, just not my jam, at the moment

My best guess is no. It doesn't have the strength or complexity in my view. based on others reviews, sound like it fades with long airtime. Pro scores were all over the map on this one.
