  November 26, 2022 - Opened 4 hours in advance of our dinner at the club. The nose was fruit with a hint of chocolate. The palate was blackberry, blueberry, cassis, wood and hints of chocolate leading to a long finish. We drank against a 2014 Pahlmeyer and my guests were equally divided as to which was the better wine. It was the first time I have ever tried a Kata wine and I was impressed. My personal favorite of the evening.

  February 1, 2022 - Stunning aromas of violets, blueberry and black fruit with notes of graphite, black cherry and firm tannins. Decanted for 2 hours and it evolved perfectly over a 2-hour steak dinner.

  January 17, 2021 - My third bottle, and each one has been a little less impressive than the first. Still good, and I love the blend, but less interesting and more monolithic. Maybe I needed to decant more, but it makes me wonder just how well these will age.

  December 24, 2020 - Just ok. Very linear, simple. Few if any secondary or tertiary flavors. Expected more from this bottle. Will wait a couple of years and try again.

  November 25, 2020 - Black fruit and floral aromas followed by flavors of blackberry, licorice, plum and cedar. This wine will age well for another 10 years easily. Silky tannins and a tasty 20-second finish.
