  November 5, 2021 - High neck fill
  Crystal clear med light ruby with an aged rim
  This particular bottle was perfectly stored since release.
  Really lovely. Completely Cali and completely resolved in terms of tannins, oak.
  A huge amalgamation of cherry, watermelon, tomato compote, perfect balance, with and herbal, sage, stem.
  Damn near perfect

  November 8, 2020 - This took 30 minutes to wake up. A good, but not great, Cabernet from 1974. Had plenty of dried tobacco and dried spice box and still rich fruit, just a little less intense, perfumed and intense as other producers / bottles from this great Napa vintage.

  September 27, 2014 - Old Wine Offline; 9/26/2014-9/27/2014 (The Room Off the Patio at Ruth's Chris, and My House): Clear, light garnet color, orange at the rim. Not much fruit here, save for a bit of raisiny tawniness, but the overall impression was clean and elegant, quite pleasant in fact.

  October 8, 2013 - Perfectly stored. Drank very well, fruit is still present but on its last leg. Plum, black cherry, touch of smoke, no edges whatsoever.
