March 30, 2024 - strong dark fruit and plenty of structure. Still drinking well with a few years left easily.
October 6, 2022 - Will buy again. Well rounded cab.
March 1, 2022 - This is still so good, it’s ready to go now as a PnP and should be consumed over the next 3-5 years.
October 27, 2021 - Deep ruby color. Aromas of black and blue fruits, some farmy, vegetal funk, mushrooms, graphite, lemon, and sourdough. Light to medium body, medium acid and finish, with flavors of black and blue fruits, namely cassis jumping out, lemon, minerals, and a bit of barky bitterness. Not bad; a little light for the style, and not a ton of complexity, but a fine pairing for our steak fajitas or burgers. 87-88
June 28, 2021 - Further to my Note of March 13, '20: Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Drunk as BYO at a local village bistro. Consistent notes--excellent everyday blend of 86% CS, 14% merlot. No sign of decline.
May 10, 2021 - Red and black fruit, cherry, char and herbs. Tough to follow the Liquid Sky Napa cabernet but this tried hard. (Coravin pour). Delicious with the grilled hamburgers.
November 13, 2020 - WA turns out some great cabs and this is an excellent single vineyard example. Rich, dark fruit, good structure and medium to long finish. Would cost 2-3x or more if it had a Napa label but just as good.
November 6, 2020 - Last of the 2014 stash, this bottle was showing really well and will be remembered as one of the great bargains of recent times. Lots of structure with sweet fruit, ripe but not one degree beyond. Soft enough to go with pizza, but stout enough for a steak. Back up the truck.
July 26, 2020 - Lots of wood showing in this bottle, and I thought the balance was off, but nevertheless, the wine was delicious and disappeared quickly.
March 27, 2020 - Very tasty wine, though I feel that the fruit is ever so slightly weak against the firm tannic structure. Still like this very much, but at this point I'm not recommending further cellaring.
