  January 14, 2018 - This was a nice surprise... In my cellar since release. It was decanted at 5:30pm and tasted through 9pm when it was gone. The nose is lightly fragrant with a mix of floral, oaky and fruit notes. The color is medium to dark garnet with no sign of age. It has a very elegant and feminine style about it with balanced fruit, acidity and alcohol and just a hint of mostly integrated tannin. It is light on the tongue and dances with layers of red and black fruit, earthy herbal notes, mocha and graphite. Well balanced and old world in nature with a nice long finish and a hint off black tea. This was simply a joy to drink with a grilled prime strip steak. Probably as good as it will get but by no means tired.

  August 31, 2017 - I was very happy to see this wine hold up really well - thought maybe window was closing - think not. Decanted for an hour silky smooth with plum, cocoa and cinnamon. Full body and spicy oak on the nose. YUM!! Maybe 5 more years....Really Good Cally Cab!!

  October 30, 2016 - Opened, aerated and decanted. Deep dark purple with no evidence of aging on the rim, Raspberries and blackberries with black pepper, spice and green pepper on the nose. Silky smooth with rich raspberry, plum and cocoa, cinnamon flavors. Moderate tannins remain. Medium to full body. Long finish. Should continue to drink well for another 5 years.

  August 17, 2013 - Smooth tannins and nice berry notes. This needs to be opened now since it will not last much longer.
