November 20, 2022 - 2+ hour decant. This wine is drinking incredibly well right now. Still has lush mountain cab fruit with a succulent mellow oak flavor that pops in the mid-palate. We think this will continue to drink excellent for another 5 years.
August 20, 2022 - Drinking extremely smooth and balanced.
February 18, 2021 - dark red, slight bricking on the rim - subtle nose of red fruit with nice touch of oak - full rich cabernet fruit in the mouth, with excellent balance of fruit, acidity and tannin - smooth 15-20 sec finish - plenty of fruit and structure to develop for many more years, but drinking so well now I'm not sure I would want to wait
February 1, 2020 - Great example of 2012 Napa cab. Delicious fruit nose with cassis and plum on the tongue.
July 14, 2019 - Purple and opaque. The nose is rich red and black fruit, with a healthy helping of vanilla. The nose is dominated by cassis, red cherries and vanilla that are consistent on the palate. The fruit on the nose an palate is ripe. The finish is lingering red cherries. Tannins are moderate. Acidity is low. Alcohol is moderate plus.
Drinking extremely well. My last bottle but the best by far; funny how that happens. 5+13+17+8=93
April 4, 2019 - dark red, slight bricking on the rim - muted nose of red cherry fruit with nice touch of oak - excellent balance of fruit, acidity and tannin in the mouth - smooth 15-20 sec finish - this was more impressive when younger, but may be going thorough a dumb phase now - certainly plenty of fruit and structure to develop for many more years
December 8, 2018 - Dark red, cherry, cranberry fruit profile in a bright and zesty style. Nice balance and medium finish.
August 19, 2018 - This wine is better since last year and the year before. It still has more time to me, but man is it drinking good now. 1 hour after decant it really opened up. Big mountain cab still!
July 3, 2018 - Opened decanted let sit for an hour then we slowly sipped it over 2 hours. Could definitely have used a longer decant as the wine was improving with every glass. Dark fruit on the nose, the palate was Berry, Plum, Fig, Leather and a touch of dried thyme. The finish was moderate to long and full. I got this bottle in a mixed case that i bought at a charity auction so sadly my only bottle.
June 11, 2018 - very nice bottle
