October 25, 2023 - Brought to restaurant; decanted for a half-hour. Young and noticeably tart on initial taste, the wine evolved nicely in decanter and glass over the course of the meal. This bottle presented as a lighter expression of the grape than found in the Napa Cabs with which I'm familiar; seems to be a Columbia Valley trait. Nice complexity, good balance. Several years ahead for this wine.
