  December 30, 2022 - Just ok. Nothing special for the price. A bit thin.

  November 15, 2021 - Decanted 90 minutes before service - given the vintage, I was worried this might be too much, but with hindsight, many hours would have been preferable. In the glass, deep, saturated purplish-red. On the nose, currants, oak, and a distinct herbal element. On the palate, fruit-rich and tannic. I was expecting a far more evolved and approachable wine given the vintage, but instead, I received a structured, tannic wine, as I might anticipate from a good or great vintage ten years down the road. The tipoff for me that we weren't dealing with a good Napa vintage was the absence of a cocoa note - without that, I doubt I would have guessed this was from a poor vintage.

  October 3, 2021 - Consistent with prior notes of 8/31/2019, one of the better 2011 Napa Cabs you can have.

  February 2, 2021 - Only bottle from the inaugural release. I have had each of the following three vintages over the past two years as I had multiple bottles of each. All showed better, probably, reflecting a combination of vintage variation and more experience with the vineyard. But particularly with a long decant, still a very enjoyable but more subtle wine. Currants, baking spice, molasses, cedar.
