    July 1, 2023 - Great straight from the bottle, required very little air. In a really nice spot.

    February 11, 2023 - A little closed at opening but improved to showing outstandingly well after a 1 hour decant. I can not say enough good things about Cariad. My only regret is not having enough of it in my cellar!

    September 10, 2021 - This intense and layered Cabernet blend is drinking beautifully right now, with incredible power and finesse that still has years more of development ahead. Garnet in color and full in body, the wine offers aromas of boysenberry, tar, leather, and mulberry. Flavors of black cherry, cocoa powder, peppercorn, bay leaf, and baking spices, with an earthy and integrated finish. Blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 14% Cab Franc, and 10% Petit Verdot. 14.9% alcohol. Decant at least two hours, but better in 2022 or later.

    June 20, 2020 - 10th anniversary. Open up nicely after 4 hours of air.

    December 19, 2019 - Decanted an hour prior to tasting. Very large-scaled and rich. Certainly well made, and would be very good by itself (or with a steak), but next to the French wines this seems a little over the top.
