August 28, 2021 - 4th Saturday Brown Bagger (EBCC): Double blind. Sappy black and red fruit with tobacco and herb tones underneath. Black fruit on the palate, with cedar, herb and earth qualities. 92-93 pts. (SS)

June 19, 2021 - Surprised this wine held so strong… exceptional flavor for a $45 bottle of an 18 year old vintage.

June 19, 2020 - Drank well for at least a couple of hours. Fruit hasn't faded away yet. Too bad the profile is a tad sweet... 13.9% ABV.

August 24, 2019 - 4th Saturday group "uptown" tasting (M&R's): Double blind. Aromas of dark fruit, spice and dried herbs. Medium- to full-bodied with nice structure and tannins; dark fruit, chocolate currant flavors. Develops a perfumed floral aroma that I find very enjoyable. Balanced. 93+ pts. A CA cabernet with "old world sensibilities."
