April 15, 2024 - This is a rich yet restrained California Cabernet that is still quite young, but showing incredible promise. Another five years in bottle will reveal this wine to be a superstar. Elegant, evenly balanced, fruit forward but not over the top, and plenty of complexity.

February 3, 2024 - Quite promising but still showing pretty young, could use another 3-5+ years for the chalky, astringent 2013 tannins to (hopefully) integrate a bit more.

January 27, 2024 - Medium bodied with rich lush fruit of raspberries and plum. Very enjoyable cab with a smooth finish.

January 6, 2024 - Deep ruby color with slow legs. Oak, cassis and blackberry on the nose. Plum, black cherry, licorice and cola on the palate. Long velvety finish.
