May 22, 2022 - A bit on the downside but still has some legs. Dark fruit dominates with plum leading the way. Tannins have mellowed but not gone. Enjoyed this.

November 7, 2017 - Big and expansive with tasty dark fruit. I think this can still go a few years. For now, I would drink with a nice steak. Give it some aeration to open up.

November 30, 2014 - A great Sonoma cab. The dark berry fruit lingers on the nose and palate. A hint of smokiness and chalkiness. Strong tannins make this drinkable for several years. A good wine from Coppola
