  March 22, 2024 - Wine Rating Methodology
  96-100: One of the most enjoyable wines I have ever tasted. I would not hesitate to open this wine for any Master of Wine.
  91-95: Extremely enjoyable wine that I would drink and buy again. Fantastic to open up for those who appreciate wine.
  85-90: Decent to good wine. Weekday bottle you don’t feel guilty about not finishing.
  Below 85: would not drink or buy again.
  ***Price of wine vs. enjoyment (value) is taken into consideration
  ***I do not provide tasting notes as everyone’s palate is different, and will have a different experience.

  December 23, 2023 - Great stuff. Decanted 2+ hrs, really opened up and drinking so well. Dark blue / purple, no real sign of age, great aromas throughout. Terrific balance and length, a large style but not at all over the top. Great with grilled steaks, everything worked and in a great place right now.

  October 28, 2023 - Nose of dark fruit, black cherry. Still see this wine evolving based on tannin presence. Integrated minerality with blueberry and some raspberry on the palate which was very enjoyable. Tasted over two nights. Fun to see the difference between night one and two. Great value as well.

  October 25, 2023 - Opened but not decanted 2 hours prior to sharing among 3 other Cabs. Viewed as top 2 of the 4 among middle-of-the-road comparisons. Per other tastings, fruit is more dominant than tannins at this point of its life. If you decant would not choose to do it for too long. Would be very surprised if this has much left after 2028-29.
