March 25, 2020 - Very solid, picking up weight and substance over several months. This wine is developing nicely. See previous notes.

After about 4 to 7 years of maturity they took a turn and not to my likening. Personally, I believe California wines are built to be enjoyed young and if the are at a good drinking point, why wait.
