August 4, 2023 - A huge wine that still has everything strung up tight. I decanted for an hour, and it had barely loosened up. Black cherry, dark plum, dark chocolate, smoke are some of the flavors. It is big throughout and the finish has a medium weight tannin which is very dry with a sweet edge.

June 10, 2023 - A massive, heavily extracted wine. Not quite my “cup of tea”, so to speak.
Deep ruby/purple color. Minimal fading around the edge, even after 9 years. Medium aroma intensity. Dark aromas … blackberry, smoke, licorice. Little to no red fruit.
Medium to big, chewy tannins. Full bodied. High alcohol. Flavors of black fruit, licorice, stewed plums. Long finish. -

November 19, 2022 - Holds nothing back. Ripe, concentrated. Alcohol content is typical Napa high, but the impression is not hot. Rich blackberry fruit, creme de cassis, loamy earth. Licorice kick on the finish.

April 25, 2022 - A beautiful Napa Cab! Nose was very aeromatic with cedar, tobacco and dark fruit. Flavors of bright cherry - red and black, currants and black raspberry. Great balance of nice tannins and acid with a dry finish of dark fruit, tobacco and leather.
