  December 31, 2023 - NYE 2023. This started with a nose of worn leather and blackberry fruit. Moved on in the mouth to deliver a medium viscous mouthfeel with strawberry, dark cherry, and blackberry. Mid palette reveals an iron core around a velvety mouthfeel. Plush finish with well integrated tannin's. Wine is from Napa's Oak Knoll District. I can sense the new french oak at play here. Not sure %'s of new versus old oak. It is really a fine wine.

  December 1, 2022 - Drank two of these. Decanted the first one for an hour, it was still pretty tight. Next one went for about three hours, and it was fantastic.

  November 2, 2022 - Really enjoyed this Cabernet. Not a huge fan of California Cabs, but this was non-traditional. Dark garnet color, nice fruit/spice nose, dark black cherries and smokey meat on the palate. Loved the smokey / funk that it had, particularly on the long finish. Definitely my new fave for Napa Cabs. Really well done, tons of life left, decanted for 45 min and was very drinkable. Opened nicely as time went on.

  July 5, 2022 - Deep ruby color, consistent texture on the pallet, good finish.
  The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, red currant, mineral and medium toast. It tastes like blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, cherry and medium toast. The body is full. The wine has coarse texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.
