    February 3, 2024 - Short decant fine. Here's hoping the 2013's are finally opening up...

    December 25, 2023 - After feeling meh about the first two times we had this 2 and 3 years ago (it was too tight with no complexity or fruit) this wine seems to have finally hit its stride. It is not a Napa fruit bomb, however. I found it to be med-full bodied, somewhat restrained, and reasonably complex. Definitely more of a Bordeaux style Cabernet than most of its Napa neighbors.

    December 18, 2023 - All the Napa signature traits are there. It's full bodied, fruit-forward, and well oaked. However; it's not overdone. Everything is in balance and after being open for about an hour it gained more balance and became a delicious cab. Red and black currants, a touch of oak, a touch of bay leaf. Really very nice. I'm going to open another one but decant for about 2 hours....

    December 14, 2023 - Color, dark ruby red; decanted 45 minutes. 1st nose liquor; 2nd nose, alcohol, anise and rose pedals. On the palate, smooth almost silky, but there is a lot of persistent tannins. Medium to long finish. I think it still has 5-10 years of life.
