December 30, 2020 - Can enjoy a bit more cellar time to soften the tannins. Nice fruit forward flavor. Nice finish. Fairly smooth all around which will be better in a few years.

October 12, 2018 - Dark but clear ruby red in appearance with a fruity nose integrated with sophisticated oak treatments. The palate is quite flavorful, powerful, smooth and balanced, a tad savory and on the lighter side of full-bodied with an air of refinement. The palate is dominated by sweet juicy yet spicy fruits, with a nicely integrated vanilla wood, saddle leather, tobacco box and a very nice and elegant mouthfeel and a very satisfying polished finish. An overall classy, delicious and good value Napa Cab. A very good showing tonight and drinking very nicely. A wonderful wine that truly punches well above its weight class and a very beautiful accompaniment to a memorable Cantonese meal at grandma’s 90th birthday dinner party.

April 10, 2018 - Quite soft and dusty in the Rutherford AVA style, as defined by Charles Krug, Caymus and Raymond. Super value at the $15 I paid. Quite drinkable now, which makes it an excellent restaurant Cab. Not for long-term cellaring.
