June 1, 2015 - Received as a gift in 2012. Just a wonderful cab. Depth, dark cherries, very good finish. Will look for more of this. Great with a rack of lamb.

October 3, 2014 - Lots of fruit on first sip and it doesn't diminish! A real mouthful of black fruits. Really good!

July 13, 2013 - Decanted through Vinturi and tasted immediately. Restrained nose of blackberry and a little plum or blueberry, with maybe a note of mushroom in the background. Palate has again a lot of blackberry, some currant, other black fruit. Tannins are fairly aggressive, and acidity fairly high. This is still a bit tight and could wait a few more years, but would be excellent now with a few hours in decanter. Went well with a grilled steak and grilled summer vegetables. We'll see what the leftovers are like after sitting overnight in the decanter.

January 2, 2012 - Its nice to have a NoCal Cab that speaks instead of yells. Not much of a nose. Berries, dark fruit, a little espresso and chocolate. A little toasty on the finish. Very good now, and I think will be even better in a couple of years.
