February 7, 2024 - One dimensional. Use for cooking.
Very surprising.
April 8, 2022 - A solid Napa cab, and good QPR. Bright fruits and focused cassis on the palate. Brief decant helps, but this is good to go.
July 2, 2021 - Dry good and everyone enjoyed. Followed a β12 Freemark Abbey and was holding itβs own
August 8, 2020 - This was delicious. Cristi shared it with Lee at her house on 8 Aug 2020
January 7, 2020 - Excellent, 16 months since my last bottle of this vintage. Actually not much different from my last note. Aroma was softer, but the taste was nearly identical to the tasting in 2018.
Since my last β14 bottle, I have had the β15 and it is significantly better. Wish I had more of it actually.
December 18, 2019 - Drinking well right now. Not the class the 2015 is, which is head and shoulders the best value Napa Cab I have had recently. 2014 is good value if you can find it for $29
August 23, 2019 - Meh
May 3, 2019 - More like a $12 Merlot than a $45 Cab. Only medium-bodied and more spice notes than anything else. Disappointing for the money paid. (If it had been $12, I would have given it about an 88.)
Decanted for one hour, and hardly any change from first taste upon opening.
December 30, 2018 - Great Napa Cab. Very well balanced.
December 14, 2018 - WHY DIDN'T I LET THIS SIT ANOTHER 5 YEARS!!! It was good, but I am sure it would have gotten better.
