Community Tasting Note

• df1962 Likes this wine: 92 points

  September 2, 2017 - PnD let air for 2hrs. Nice complex nose. Not your typical California Cab as it is not overly powerful or oaky. Lots of depth and complexity. Don't see this as a 98 pointer that W&S has it at but maybe some of its complexity was not detected as the night got late. Looking forward to trying my last bottle in a couple of years earlier in the evening.

Try it along the way if you like but I think you will be surprised how different it is with the air...richer and more intense rounded flavors. Also, I would suggest waiting until at least its 15th birthday... This wine is intended to be a long aging wine and will likely be at its best nearer to its 20th birthday in my view.
  Cheers!
