March 18, 2023 - This was the primary featured wine out of 7 bottles served to 8 people who enjoy wine-Chardonnay and red wine. Main dish was prime rib. The bottle was smooth and full bodied. Should age well another 5 years at least.

March 7, 2021 - Deep ruby color. Deep, incredibly rich nose of mulberries buttressed by prunes. Raspberries, hot cocoa, and lots of dark fruit. Delicious.

February 14, 2021 - Excellent brooding, big, Oakville cab. Not especially complex, not a great value, and likely on the downhill side, if it's still in your cellar. But, all in all, a very enjoyable cab in the typical Napa style.
