February 21, 2024 - A solid Cab from a trusted producer. Peter Michael's Cabs are always very stable, powerful and well balanced. This one is no exception.

January 9, 2024 - Not as good as the bottle I had a few years ago but still an excellent bottle of wine. The nose was all fruit. The palate was dark berries, dark cherry, currents, a slight hint of coffee and then a faint hint of clove which came out on the long finish. Served with steaks made in my grill pan on a very rainy NJ night.

August 14, 2023 - Great nose of fall crushed berries of blackberries , currents, raspberries , ripe plums, wild h blueberries. Palate of same fruit with herbs and minerals of a dusty soil similar to Rutherford. But unique in its own rite- mid palate is strong that gives a peppery nuance of Cabernet Franc but the power of Cabernet Sauvignon makes the long, pleasant finish that lasts over 45 seconds.

June 14, 2023 - 60 minute bottle decant followed by 30 in the decanter. This was quite enjoyable with the boldness you expect from the blend with a decent amount of secondary flavors. Glad I have a few more of these to drink.

May 12, 2023 - Decanted for 1 hr before dinner. Really great after 2 hrs. Some sediment. Nose: very good 9/10. Stone, some iron, violets. Palate: 9/10. Medium to full body. Polished, well balanced. Licorice. Graphite. Finish: 9/10. Price: 7/10 ($235) Expensive for what I get. Enjoyment: 9/10. Would buy again: No. I'd try something else at that price.
