January 4, 2024 - Long legs, lovely bouquet, tannins still pronounced and fruit beginning to fade. The cork was a bit dry through the core so maybe this bottle isn't a good representation. I have 5 bottles left so hoping that it is one off. After a good aeration the tannins began to soften, and the fruit came forward. Cabernet Sauvignon definitely takes center stage. Day 2: The tannins are still pronounced, and the fruit still receding, but that being said it still drinks nicely. Definitely punches above its original price point.

March 15, 2023 - I’m getting some nice secondary flavors and still plenty of acid/backbone. Drinks more like a right bank BDX imho
July 18, 2021 - Super smooth and drinking extremely well right now. Delicate nose with a hint of gunpowder and a medium finish of blue fruit. At or close to peak...
December 26, 2020 - Solid effort in this price range.

J'aime mieux ce blend que leur Cab.
Bien fait même si intense et dense, la cave
lui fera le plus grand bien ou un bon 3 heures de carafe si
on veut le boire en jeunesse, ce que j'ai fait.
C'est ample mais l'ensemble a un certain équilibre.
Nez fragrant sur le chocolat et les fruits noirs.
En bouche, des mures et du cassis avec une
pointe de menthol. Le boisé bien dosé et les tannins serrés.
La finale est longue et soyeuse avec une légère chauffe.
March 29, 2020 - This continues as an above-average wine, suitable for your wine group. Very well blended. Aging well, though it may be moving through its prime drinking period. Best to take in one sitting. Enjoy.
January 30, 2020 - Delicious. Will only get better from here...
November 17, 2019 - Quite enjoyable straightforward Cali Cab at this point. Certainly worth seeing how it evolves over next 5 years.
April 9, 2019 - Very solid Cali blend. Fruit forward, with a mix of red and black fruit. Some cocoa undertones. Good structure. 90-91.
