December 28, 2021 - Delicious black fruit flavors and more spice than the previous night's wine (2015 Keplinger Cab.) A bit rustic with some baking spice/tar but they balance beautifully with blackberries and black raspberries. I got into Relic for their Petite Sirah and have grown to appreciate their cabs.

May 23, 2019 - I’m a big fan of Quivet’s Kenefick Ranch cab so I decided to give this cab a shot in light of the source - 94% Kenefick Ranch and 6% Corona Vineyard. Dark purple fruit - blackberry, currants, dark raspberry, and dark cherry. Really smooth mid-palate coupled with solid depth/concentration and a nice purity - medium plus body. Nice flavors of dark berries, baking spices/licorice, and a mineral/graphite component. Fairly long finish. Popped/poured but drank out of a decanter for a couple hours. Improved with time and took around two hours to really open-up. A nice wine - in my opinion in line with the 94 rating from Parker and WS. 100% cab.
