September 25, 2021 - Rich dark fruit with a bit of spice. I would've liked a little more complexity, but this is an unapologetic Napa cab. Drinking well at the moment, but plenty of life left.

July 10, 2020 - Blackberry and oak on the nose and the attack palate. Color was still dark Garnett with pretty thin minsicus. I was surprised by how young the wine still appeared. It can age another 5-10 years. That said, after double decanting it and giving it a couple hours, it was truly exceptional. It definitely need some air to show itself. One of the best Alpha Omega wines made in my view. Nothing better since 2010 that I have tasted anyhow.

May 28, 2018 - Dark blackberry fruit, with obvious oak notes.
Decanted 2 hours, and with more air it softened a bit. There plenty of acidic backbone, and tasted quite delish.
Clearly a napa/new world, but sometimes that can be good some times!1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 28, 2017 - Tasted over 6 hrs. At hour one, sleepy. Two: waking up but tart. 3: better still, dark fruits and a bit earthy. 6: open and drinking well.
