March 24, 2024 - Double decanted a large glass first night and drank balance over next two night under pump. Not super impressed (relative to high expectations). Good flavors and more balance, just not sure this is worthy of high end status. Or is it just me, no longer loving cabs?

March 15, 2024 - 30 min decant paired with steaks. I have not yet had a 2013 Napa cab that I would say has truly entered its drinking window and this was no exception. Brooding, opulent, and tightly wound. All the ingredients are there to make for a terrific wine including beautifully balanced dark fruit and oak and a minerality or graphite that I had it picked up before. Intensity and long finish.
Note to future self: Time and air are your friend here. -

February 10, 2024 - Nose: charcoal, blackberries, licquorice
Taste: memories of Mary Spottswoode in her little car
Fig, oak, dark berries, lush with a nice finish.
This wine is getting better just sitting here eating a dinner of pasta, spinach and chicken. Awfully good. No awfully GREAT!!1 person found this helpful Comment
