  June 18, 2023 - Nalle on the nose. Coming together nicely, though probably has another 15 years of great drinking.

  January 10, 2021 - Appearance: deep ruby, medium+ tearing, very light staining, no rim variation nor sediment.
  
  Nose: clean, pronounced intensity, developing, black cherry, black plum, red currant, back currant, bay leaf, gravel, tobacco, smoke, cedar, vanilla bean, dried cherry.
  
  Palate: dry, medium+ acid, medium+ tannin, medium+ alcohol (13.7%), medium+ body, medium+ intensity, medium+ finish, black cherry, black plum, red currant, back currant, bay leaf, gravel, tobacco, smoke, cedar, vanilla bean, dried cherry.
  
  Overall: A pretty good representation of a more restrained style of California Cabernet. Definitely fruit forward with some noticeable sweet oak, but trending more toward red fruits, savory black fruits, and a little bit of savory herbal and earthy qualities. Structurally the acid drives the wine, while the tannins are rather rounded (but still elevated), and the alcohol isn't obtrusive. A nice wine that drinks well on its own and can stand up to some richer foods.
