January 30, 2024 - This wine still has a lot going on but needs to be enjoyed now. Deep, dark berry fruit and dried herb flavors. Long, delicious finish. It began to show age after a couple hours with air.

October 15, 2023 - Popped and poured. This is a deep red wine with tongue-staining concentration. On the nose, I get mint, blueberry, plums, and wet rocks. In the mouth, this is smooth with rich flavors, but some slight remaining tannin. The finish displays some lingering red and blue fruits. Overall, this is very pleasurable and a fine example of a Napa Cab-based wine. It is certainly a success in the vintage. 92 points.
