September 6, 2019 - Age has served this very well, as I found this to be an elegant, well balanced and rewarding wine, with classic notes of rich cassis and black fruit being nicely complemented by a set of spice notes. Lush, round finish. No rush. I look forward to comparing this to the Estate release too.

June 15, 2018 - Double decanted. 1 hour before serving. Nose was wonderful.
Full bodied, smooth finish, sorry it was the last bottle
we have of this vintage. -

February 9, 2017 - Deep purple red color, quite rich and very appealing when poured into the glass. Dark fruit and berries, yet the wine is more soft and elegant with evident tannins and mild heft. I popped, poured and tasted this wine, but l allowed the remainder to slow ox. The wine did show a bit better but not really significantly. This is a pretty good Cab, but not a special in my opinion. There is a little something there, but not quite enough for my taste.

June 28, 2015 - tried 08 alongside 09 again and distance is widening...08 simply has a more vibrant and interesting nose, more depth and complexity on the palate...not surprising that it is now selling at nearly twice the 09...I will likely blow out the 09 inventory and savor the 08
