January 6, 2022 - Still hanging on but drink the entire bottle. Loses its fruit if recorked. Has some dark berries and earthy herbs.

December 29, 2020 - Fruit is really revealing itself. Nice cherry, blueberry, huckleberry notes with hints of cocoa dust and sage.

February 29, 2020 - Still has time. Tannins still quite present. Very nice and lots of cherry notes.

January 11, 2020 - The 2008 Medlock Ames Cabernet Sauvignon Bell Mountain featured Cherry and Blackberry mid-bodied fruit flavors ... smooth and relaxed 😌 Cabernet with mild tannins.

February 27, 2015 - Opened this up out of our cellar and poured a taste and simply corked the rest on the counter. Opened again this evening, 5 days after initially opening, and has softened wonderfully with no signs of oxidation! By this measure this wine has a very long drinking lifetime ahead. Tonight (3/3/15) this features a deep well of blackberry, black currant, cassis and touches of oak spice and forest floor. Very much liked the character on day 5 versus day 1!
