August 24, 2011 - Cork was soaked and moldy on the outside but still intact. Dark, brickish color. Dark fruit aroma. Lots of fruit on the palate, but a bit dry on the finish. Started big but faded over the evening. Drink now.

August 18, 2010 - Perfectly balanced, nice rounded tannins and vibrant fruit... is this really a 20-year-old Napa Cab?

February 15, 2006 - Tasting great right now. Clean and lovely nose of berries, warm open oak and dense fruit. Solid tannins with firm structure, balanced fruit and oak with a rustic but refined mid pallette and oh so tasty finish, this could age more if you wanted but its great right now. Good Value from a less than stellar vintage.
