August 18, 2019 - Delicious from start to finish. Great fruit still, smooth tannins, long finish.
November 17, 2017 - WOTN at a wine dinner. One of the best sonoma cabs I have had. Drinking beautifully.
July 21, 2016 - Nice wine, nothing special but well rounded.
September 20, 2013 - I have tasted this before with consistent notes. Its big, balanced, but this bottle lacked the depth of an earlier one tasted a year or two back. Drink up!
February 6, 2012 - It's pretty rare that I like, much less rate highly a Napa Cab these days, but this was excellent. Cedar, vanilla, fruit on the nose, expansive in the mouth with a finish that just went on and on and on and on and...... Perfectly balanced. A great wine drinking at its peak.
May 21, 2011 - Lush and big but not overripe. Nicely balanced. Coconut would suggest maybe American oak? A nice surprise from a cooler climate appellation.
January 2, 2011 - Big silky cab with a ton of black fruit that mellows a bit with time in the glass. Has a really long finish. Enjoy!!!
June 10, 2010 - A total fruit bomb that is over the top with sweetness that is a bit overbearing. Was voted #4 of 4 wines in a flight of cabernets.
July 5, 2009 - Deep inky purple color, delicious boquet of blackberry, strawberries and cherries with a touch of alcohol, wood and graphite....the wine really explodes at first with a fruit bomb, but then evolves with notes of earth and cedar. Good acidity and sweet tannins tell me that this wine has years left to evolve and improve. The finish is delicious and long with a beautiful caramel mocha flavor that goes on and on.
May 23, 2009 - Very solid. Not as black, viscous and intense as the 02 and 03. Yes to tobacco, leather and graphite.
