September 16, 2022 - PnP. Unfortunately it had to follow some great wines and was over the hill. Medium red color and dominated by stewed fruit and hints of graphite. Bordeaux like nose but rough on the palate at this point. Last bottle.

April 9, 2022 - PnP’d. Complete opposite of the AG cab. Smoky, earthy, and meaty. Medium depth. Hardly any fruit.

February 26, 2022 - Neal never stops impressing!!! Would have guessed Bordeaux all the way. 1hr+ decant. Nose of dark cherries, cedar, and menthol. Blue and black fruit on the palate with well integrated alcohol. Medium depth and medium plus finish. Reminds me of Chateau Pontet-Canet but 1/5 of the price. Neal rocks!!

November 22, 2020 - Beautiful nose, gorgeous color and a mouth coating of fruit. This wine seems perfectly balanced right now. A nice amount of fruit on the front and a lingering finish on the back. While drinking nicely now, being a Neal Wine, it will still age well...but why wait!

October 17, 2020 - Opaque ruby color. Deep nose of blackberry, currant, and cassis. Mid-ripe fruit, light oak influence, juicy on the palate. The tannins are extremely fine, almost non-existent, medium weight. The finish is long and not heavy or cloying.
