  May 22, 2022 - An anniversary vintage for us, double decanted thirty minutes before serving with Morgan Ranch wagyu ribeyes. Deep inky crimson color belies its age. An initial burst of black cherry gives way to kirsch and blue fruit tones. Medium-bodied with some tannin to integrate, with flavors of lavender, black currants, plum and barrel spice. Drinking well. Down to our last two bottles, though we have a couple of mags as well. We’ll be sad to see this one go…a beauty. 92-93 pts.

  December 27, 2021 - Fully mature, quality Santa Clara Valley Cabernet fruit here. Very smooth and very fruit forward, here. Not very much complexity except for dark red fruits, though the moderate acidity makes sure that the wine is not too heavy. I think this will be fun to see how, or if, the fruit flavors evolve further.

  July 16, 2021 - The fruit has outlasted the tannins, which are throwing a lot of sediment at this point. Still good acidity, but the fruit is unchecked now by the lack of tannic structure.
