July 22, 2023 - Found it medium bodied, tannins mellow. Dry with a mellowing as the fruit lingers. Dried cherry and blackberries, a touch earthy but only slightly. Long finish. Perfect with the BBQ hoisin pork tenderloin.
Drinking well now.
October 5, 2021 - Big Bold and Inky, Lots of Dark Fruit with hints of Cocoa, Vanilla, and some Leather.
March 1, 2020 - Bottle was slightly corked. Caused the smell to be corky. The taste was still good but the overall experienced was not as it should have been
December 7, 2019 - A lot to like and ready to go with short decant. Constrained with beautiful minerality. Better on day 1.
June 12, 2019 - Needs at least a 3 hour decant. Smells of raspberries, alcohol, oak. Tastes of dried flowers, sweet and low, oak, leather. Full body. Finding this to be mediocre compared to some of the other cabs available. I would pass on this again.
May 12, 2019 - decent stuff. needs air
February 13, 2019 - Not my favorite but decent enough. An artificial sugar is the most prominent aspect followed by a sharp and prickly finish that stings your tounge. The fruit and oak treatment that do come through are overshadowed by the above. Some acidity and tannin give it freshness keeping it from coming off like a much cheaper bottle. Even worse on night two.
December 3, 2018 - good, but not as good as last bottle
July 8, 2018 - Nice cabernet which held up very well the second day.
April 25, 2018 - this is very nice stuff especially at the price point. decent fruit with a good edge of chocolate and a long finish - probably should get more
