December 2, 2023 - This is beautiful wine from a not so great vintage. Lots of deep dark fruit and tobacco. Tannins are still present and acidity is medium to medium+. Drinking great right now but still has some lie ahead of it. 94 points.

November 17, 2023 - Dark red in color edge to edge. Plums, currants, black cherries on the nose. Smooth and deeply flavored on the palate, black cherries, blackberries, tobacco, anise. Plums on the mid-palate. Precise tannins, lovely acidity, great balance. Finishes long with cherry notes. Becomes more red-fruited with air. Lovely mature Cab. Drink next 6 to 8 years. This is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon with the rest various amounts of Petite Verdot, Malbec and Cab Franc.

March 16, 2023 - Family trip to Sedona.
Purchased at Vino Di Sedona for $100.
This 2011 that are drinking well right now. Nicely developed with a good amount of secondary complexity that is hidden behind oak.
The Cabernet Sauvignon from the same vintage is drinking more like Bordeaux.
Limited selection with age. -

January 1, 2023 - Deep garnet wine. Beautiful bouquet of red berry fruit with lots of raspberry, intertwined with white a blue petal florals. Even some pen ink is noted. Silky mouthfeel that continues the lush red berry compote like flavours. Evidently Napa and wonderfully so. Still youthfull at 11 years old with lots of maturity still to come but expertly integrated constituents already. Went fabulously with the Capital Grilles bone in fillet.
