April 8, 2024 - Really like the less-common boysenberry and lingonberry fruit that’s familiar yet new. Nice smooth finish, but not much in the way of secondary notes. Good value versus the single vineyard Hobbs options.

January 4, 2024 - Rich nose loaded with sweet boysenberry preserves, mulberry, pomegranate, French oak and a hint of coffee. Full-bodied and loaded with fruit, the palate is just sensational! More sweet boysenberry preserves, black plums, spice and vanilla. Perfectly mature, this will hold a few years, but no need to wait. Drink now-2026 92

May 15, 2023 - Very average cab. Decanted for 1 hr then corvained back into the bottle. Not bad but nothing noteworthy. Muted fruit and short finish. I've had better luck with other vintages of this wine. Being worse on day 2 and the very mellowed tannins suggest 2-3 more years tops.
