June 30, 2023 - 3 1/2 hour decant (mag decanter). Nose: Complex aromas of blackberries, blueberries, earth and graphite. Palate: Spice, alc heat and blackberries early on but after a little time in the fridge the alcohol heat was mitigated and the blueberries come out more. This is a big boy and if you open now give at least 2 hours of decant time. Alc is only 14.6% but it comes off as higher so in addition to the decant I suggest giving it a bit of chill. Solid Cab if you are willing to invest in proper service preparation.

April 7, 2023 - Really smooth, velvety cab with refined tannins. Ripe blackberries, some cedar, forest floor.

December 16, 2022 - Listen to the others’ advice to decant. I didn’t, pnp…wish I had done a decant.

December 10, 2022 - This took every bit of two hours to open up. Blue and black fruits within a medium body framework. Integrated tannins, hints of chocolate.
An easy drinker. This does not possess the density of the flagship Jones, but represents good value for the money.
I would give a slight nod to Caterwaul, in terms of an entry TRB cab
Thanks to AG for putting this on my radar -

June 10, 2021 - Two hour decant. Very deep dark magenta. Milk chocolate, boysenberry, blackberry, caramel, and cola on the nose. Smooth, dry palate, with good acidity. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.
