November 8, 2023 - A nose of dark fruit and some spice, garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, cassis, on spiced finish, a good value, drink now. www.winelx.com
July 30, 2021 - Dark red, fruity aroma, taste of vanilla and tannins, medium finish.
May 21, 2021 - Not happy. Upon opening the color looks a little off.Taste like it peaked last year or even before that. Disappointing for Yountville wine. Will review again after letting it open.
August 20, 2020 - Drinkable, not that complex, has a bit of an off taste but not bad. A bit simple, light on mid palate. Will finish the bottle but won't buy again.
July 13, 2020 - A nose of black cherry and some spices, dark garnet in color. A medium bodied red, with black cherry, raspberry, vanilla and spice on finish, a bit underwhelming, expected more. www.winelx.com
April 11, 2020 - sight: Not concentrated, bright ruby red, slightly opaque at the rim, no gas, no sediment.
nose: Peppery notes with floral accent, hard to pick out the wood,
palate: lighter body, ripe blue and red fruit, med- acid, med- tannins, med- alcohol, well balanced if a bit thin; short finish.
Overall: Lacking complexity of a higher end Napa cab. Pleasantly surprised with drinkability. Was great with a rich pasta bolognese.
Probably not going to benefit much from additional time in cellar.

March 31, 2018 - Aroma bursting of fruit. Tastes of extreme cherry and fruit, almost like a cherry tootsie pop. Though fruity, prolonged taste is ordinary an not as rich and creamy and complex as I would expect from a Napa cab. Tannins and Oak are light and not as well integrated as I would like. A good wine but for the price point I expect more. Will not buy more.
