November 3, 2023 - Definitely less bright fruit than the last time I had it, cocoa powder, pencil lead, some light pyrazine, and more incense than I remember the last time. Still lacking some tension, and while it has evolved a little, I think I liked it a little more previously.

September 4, 2023 - Basic dark fruit and really nothing more. Minimal complexity and a funky note throughout.

May 13, 2023 - Really nice rich New World Cab. Not my go-to style, but every once in a while the mood strikes and it struck and I really enjoyed this. Nice on PnP and over hours.
Dark fruits, mint, cedar, pine forest, fennel, a sense of sweetness that was just enough - some oak influence, smooth melting tannins. Definitely a fruit-driven wine.
Nice on its own, it doesn't get too tiring. Worked great with wet aged filet mignons, cooked rare, cast iron, finished under the broiler, toasting a topping blend of butter, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and chopped thyme, sage, and parsley.
14.5% abv, no sense of heat.
Excellent QPR at $20 USD "mystery" pricing -

April 21, 2023 - A year and a half later and this wine was great right out of the bottle. River rock, cassis, spruce, mocha, dried strawberry, sandalwood, subtle earthiness on the finish.
