April 11, 2020 - Excellent big dark fruit with the cabernet cassis coming through without apology.

April 1, 2020 - Fruit forward: ripe fruit, maybe even slightly towards plum. Delicious. Classic California flavors.

February 2, 2019 - 39% Cab Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 12% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot, 3% Cab Franc, 3% Syrah. Decanted 45 min. No notes taken. Solid blend showing more Merlot/Malbec than the others, but with enough complexity to make it interesting. In a good place now. Maybe longer decant?
