May 2, 2020 - Unbalanced and acidic driven. The nose is fine with violets and a floral sense dominating. The mouthfeel is lively and wildly acidic dominant. Hoping it calms down in the next hour as it overwhelms the fruit.
This is not aging well at all. Drink up. -

September 28, 2017 - The nose has traces of green bell peppers, eucalyptus, cedar. The palate begins on notes of black currants transitioning to bell peppers. The finish is a good balance of acid, alcohol and fine tannins. Not a revolutionary Cab, but very good nonetheless.
