April 20, 2024 - PNP through an aerator. Huge, big and bold. One of the most intense cabs we have had in a while. Spouse loved it, seemed a bit too much for me. Still lots of fruit, corners are rounding off. Will try again in a few years.

December 8, 2023 - Been about 18 months since my last bottle of this '14. Notes pretty much as before with hours 2-3 being the best window for it right now. Might just be a point less overall fruit wise than when last having it 18 months ago. Still, not bad for the '14 which is often looked at in Napa as the red headed stepchild vintage, when compared against those more popular vintages of '12, '13, '15 and '16 during the five consecutive drought years.

October 20, 2023 - Pretty typical 2014. Huge fruit bomb, acid is decent but not enough to balance the fruit. Medium body. Tannins are pretty integrated. Not very nuanced outside the fruit. As the previous commenter noticed, the high alcohol on the nose is off putting. Decanted for 90 minutes. Probably would have been better to PnP at cellar temperature.

June 19, 2023 - My last bottle, wish I had bought more of this near perfect wine. See my previous note below. This wine was smooth and absolutely delicious. Decanted for one hour and consumed over the following two... Drink now or cellar for another 10-15.

June 10, 2022 - Tasted alongside 2012 Cask 23 and 2014 Caldwell Tannat. This has the most ripe fruit and a bit too much VA for my taste. Well balanced on the palate, you can see MR’s blending expertise shining here. Nice finish maybe 20-25 seconds. Overall a solid wine but hot on the nose for a wine of this caliber.
