  December 22, 2023 - Tasted next to the 15 Quilceda Creek and I much preferred this to the QC. Decanted for 30 minutes with wonderfully balanced reddish fruit, incense and spice on the nose and a long smooth but structured finish. Really good juice!

  June 10, 2023 - This did improve with air, but it came across as too plum driven and heavy for me. Dark fruit notes were present, but were obscured by the heavy plum notes I got from it. Disappointing given the label

  April 27, 2022 - Appearance
  The wine is a clear deep ruby.
  
  Nose
  The wine exhibits pronounced, developing aromas of dried red blossoms, black cherry, black plum, blackberry jam, vanilla, cedar, coconut, dusty earth, roasted red meat, and tried thyme.
  
  Palate
  The wine is dry with a full body, high acid, medium (+) tannins, medium (+) alcohol, and exhibits pronounced flavors of black cherry, red cherry, blackberry, black plum, currant, bell pepper, white pepper, and sage with a long finish.
  
  Conclusion
  The quality of this wine is outstanding. Not as full bodied as some of its Napa Valley cabernet neighbors. Excellent finesse, great balance. Excellent now and will age well. Delicious. Life and wine are good!

  August 11, 2021 - 2 hour decant and firing on all cylinders. Complex wine with good depth. Everything in place for a Cabernet. Excellent wine and not even their Dalla Valle Maya.

  July 20, 2021 - (at Roots Steakhouse - Summit NJ) Just fantastic. Ripe for sure yet red fruited with nice balancing structure. Evolved over a few hours and complexity emerged. Great finish. My favorite of the California trio this evening. (95)
