  February 14, 2023 - Medium ruby color. Moderately intense aromas of ripe fruit, oak, very Napa. Dry, with elevated acidity but surprisingly modest tannins. Raspberry fruit on the palate, and maybe a little heat, although only 14.1% abv.

  October 9, 2022 - Decanted for about an hour. The wine initially came off as austere, maybe a bit hot, but with air and time became a hit. Paired with grilled ribeye, baked, potato, and salad. It initially had herbal notes on the nose, and there was a worry in the beginning that it may have lost some fruit. it initially finished a bit hot. All of that went away with time in the decanter, and it was a terrific pairing for this meal.

  September 23, 2022 - Very dense dark fruited nose of blackberry and cassis with vanilla in the background. Similar flavors with some bitterness that went away after an hour (Popped and poured over 2 hours), lush buttery mouthfeel, surprisingly had some acidity, long finish, a very nice big bold Napa cab, wish it had more cab franc character (82% cab franc 15% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon). Definitely a crowd pleaser but not in a bad way.
