  February 18, 2019 - Oh Gawd this is sweet. Reminds me of the Hestan Meyer '15 Cab. Ok, this one has a bit more depth than the Meyer but still... I have one left, also have one bottle of Wight vineyard '15. A very benevolent 90 points.

A shame because I thought the 2009 & 2010 vintages were some of the best cabs that I’ve had for the money at $45. Still at around $45 in the secondary market I wasnt moved to buy more of this vintage. Hopefully the profile of the 2016 vintage is closer to the 2009 and 2010 vintages.

I recently opened a Jean Edwards Cab '13 that was much more interesting, I don't think you've had any exposure to this label. but would be interested in your review if you did.
