December 21, 2021 - Wow I wish I would have saved my bottles for now as this is my last one. The label says St. Helena but my mouth screams Oakville. Really like this now. Probably drank my other bottles too soon. I need to make another trip to Napa and make a large investment in wines that taste like this before I’m too old to enjoy them at their 9th or 10 birthday.

February 28, 2019 - Really nice 7 year old Napa Cab. Cassis fruit, sweet vanilla oak, baking spices, touches of pipe tobacco. Drink now - 2022+.

September 15, 2018 - Upon opening, a high alcohol gust made us worried that it was too young and tight. 30 minutes of breathing and it was gone. Lots of fruit but not at all jammy to the taste. Nose remained slightly suggestive of cassis, but to the taste not at all. We enjoyed it with tenderloin beef kabobs on the grill at home, and the wine with the beef was divine. And, didn't overpower the veggies. My guess is this is going to keep getting better for some time. We have 6 more bottles and will space them by a year or so each.
