December 31, 2022 - One of the best Cabernets I've had. At @$60 it's a steal

November 14, 2021 - Ordered from a restaurant's wine list, this bottle was uncorked, poured and serially tasted over two hours. A deep ruby/red blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Merlot that was sourced entirely from the Estate's vineyard in Chiles Valley, it delivers an attractive package of cassis, dark plum, anise, nutmeg and cocoa on both the nose and palate. Medium-to-full-bodied, fresh, seamlessly alcoholic (14.3%), judiciously oaked and with plentiful sweet tannins, it is layered on the mid-palate and finishes long. This is a delicious Cab that has plenty of tread left in its tires. Give it at least an hour of air at this stage (preferably in decanter). Drink now-2033.

February 13, 2021 - Same notes as before. bought a case hoping to see it through 10 years plus of evelutions....not sure if this case will even last the year. Great QPR and worth multiple case buys. Performs so well at this price point. More balanced than most 2013, with the requisite stuffing for the long haul but drinking so well already. Definitely worth a try.

December 23, 2020 - This is something different in 2013, a classically styled Napa Cab, Red and berries, some dark fruit, medium bodied, but rather tannic and very structured, very nicely done, elegant and not a large scale brash Napa cab, definitely some menthol /mint coolness juicy, with a medium length finish. This is a great value and deserves a case or two to watch over the next decade.
