February 16, 2020 - Still drinking nicely. Tannins are relaxed and mouthfeel is soft. Full dark red fruit on nose and palate. Has some layering with a medium length finish.
May 20, 2018 - Drinking well, can still age for a few more years as tannins are holding up well. Has the chalk undertones with a silky mouthfeel typical of Stag’s Leap district. Full blue fruit with long finish.
November 20, 2017 - Haven’t had this in two years and it’s still going strong. One of the better Pine Ridge SLD vintages.
March 12, 2017 - 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Disappointing...
Nose of black plum, red berries brambles, neutral wood and alcohol. Palate is medium bodied with velvety texture, Dry, sharp acidity and generous tannins. For a higher tier Cali Cab ($85) this comes across rustic and lacks refinement. The acidities sharpness is distracting and seems unnatural as you feel it going down your throat. Short finish. Was this an attempt at a Bordeaux style wine? After having the other 2009 PRV cabs, rutherford, howell, napa, Oakville, cave 7, etc. this wine is a Huge disappointment. Might have been an off bottle. Purchased winery direct, stored accordingly and enjoyed 60 – 70 with grilled beef. Start cracken these open as there is not enough fruit to support the acidity long term. Drinking window now – 5 years…Na zdrowie
March 27, 2016 - Excellent Cab! Perfect with a steak dinner.
December 19, 2015 - A really excellent cab, consistently strong throughout the evening. Has many great years left in it. Lots of fruit but it's well integrated.
September 27, 2014 - Very nice
