November 21, 2017 - Non-existent nose & palate out of the gate - I mean literally, next to nothing. What slight flavor that *was* there, was disjointed: I thought the bottle bad. Over the coming hours.. and then especially the next night.. this finally came around a bit, although very primary with no weight or complexity. Nothing offensive, so in the end a simple pleasant drinker.

October 19, 2017 - 2017 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/16/2017-10/25/2017 (New York City, NY): Still very youthful, this deep ruby wine (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) flaunts dark bramble fruit, blueberry, licorice, chocolate and loamy earth aromas. Full-bodied, freshly acidic and with nicely integrated alcohol (listed as 14.7%), it delivers a black and blue fruit flavor payload that is supported by medium-weight, fine-grained tannins. Nicely dense on the mid-palate and medium in length on the back end, this is a quality Cabernet that is early in its drinking window. Enjoy it over the next decade. Drink now-2027.

June 27, 2015 - 4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Our house): Dark fruit, plum and pepper notes. Flavors of black fruit and plum, pepper and vanilla with a subtle meaty undertone. Somewhat firm tannins. Develops a chocolate note with air. Guessed Napa cab-based blend.
