  May 22, 2017 - Aerated and then decanted 2 hours. Dark, almost inky black color. Nose of dark fruit, cedar, violets and herbs. A nose that just wouldn't quit. Powerful but balanced upon entry with oak, vanilla, cherry, cinnamon spice, earth, smoke and a touch of sweetness. Well integrated fruit, tannins and acidity. Mouthful of cherry cola, graphite, pencil shavings and a touch of plum. Medium length finish with some slight heat and dill that smoothed out over the evening. A very sound Napa Valley cabernet that could be cellared for a couple more years.
  
  Thank you, George H, for this retirement gift!

  April 8, 2017 - Bachelor Party trip to Napa/Sonoma (Sonoma, Napa, SF): A bit disjointed. Smells and tastes overripe and plummy but without the blackcurrant notes I look for in cab. Slight pyrazines but a bit one note. Aggressive structure with high acid and high tannins.

  April 8, 2017 - Bachelor party (Napa Valley, CA): A bit of heat, ripe red fruits but a bit light; palate is full bodied, full tannins, a bit lacking in fruit; short to medium finish. Lacking for me. 84-85
