August 28, 2019 - Ink colored pour. Rich deep blackberry , plum and cassis.
November 4, 2016 - We've drank a few of these and have 1 left - and this bottle was fabulous. Maybe the time in the bottle has finally peaked but this was a tremendous wine. Dark fruit, well balanced, the acidity was a touch strong on the long finish. Loved this bottle.
December 7, 2015 - This is our last bottle of the 2011. Very good with dark cassis fruit and a smooth finish.
October 30, 2015 - I had this with a pizza of four cheeses, tomatoes, kalamata olives, and anchovies--an odd pairing, I know, but my wife was away, and this wine and all of the above foods are things that I love. Afterward, I fell asleep on the couch watching TV and awoke at about 1:30. There was a swallow of the wine left in my glass, and I drank it while walking to the kitchen. I was gobsmacked with the cedary Cabernet goodness of it!
April 22, 2015 - First night, a bit closed and disjointed, which is how I remember this wine, but this bottle really opened up well after 24 hrs. Still dominated by oak and vanillins but much softer dark fruits and medium long finish on night 2 that just didn't show on first night. Probably 87 on 1st night and 90 on second.
February 8, 2015 - Not worth more than $12
January 3, 2015 - Better than expected. Likely will not purchase it but wouldn't turn it down if received as a gift.
December 5, 2014 - We buy a case of this each year. It's a nice inexpensive Cab.
August 30, 2014 - Good pairing with steak
Rich and bold, nice oak, fruit and a little smoky flavor
August 30, 2014 - I found this a little funky/wierd day 1, but opened up well day 2 and was quite enjoyable.
