February 25, 2017 - Very nicely balanced at this stage. Currants, with traces of cedar and leather. Definitely not a vanilla latte from Napa. Medium body and a more-than-respectable finish. However, it was extremely closed and didn't reveal much on the nose until it had been open for about 90 minutes. If I had any more (which I don't), I'd probably decant it.

August 8, 2016 - Soft leather color. Good full berry nose. Fair legs. Flavor of licorice, plums w/fair backbone. Held well in the mouth. Not a big burly cab, more of a softer cab profile. Held up well w/Steak on the grill.

June 18, 2016 - In a really solid spot right now. took about an hour to smooth out the rough edges. Red fruit / touch of cedar / asphault / leather on the nose. Medium bodied cab. Definitely indicative of being from Sonoma and not Napa. fans of full throttle glop will not like this wine. I thought it was really well done if not spectacular. red fruit on the palate, nice acidity with tannins integrating well. Solid wine. nothing amazing, but really good.

August 20, 2015 - A far cry from the 1999, this vintage needs more age to round out the roughness which is present
