April 14, 2023 - Best wine I’ve had this year. All the pieces are there and working together - fruit, acid, tannins. Drank at a byob wine dinner and was wine of the night.

June 18, 2022 - Similar to prior note after a 2 hour double decant; outstanding, near perfection, drink or hold (having trouble as it is so good!)

October 30, 2021 - More like my 1st bottle after double decanting for 2 hrs, deep ruby, black cherries with chocolate & just a whiff of green pepper, med. tannins, long finish; outstanding, drink or hold. This is a wine that is hard to put down!

August 21, 2021 - Double decanted for 2 hrs, deep ruby, black cherries with some vanilla & a whiff of green pepper, med. tannins, long finish; outstanding, drink or hold. Everyone at our brownbag group guessed Napa cab as I did the 1st time I tasted it blind. It was WOTN!
