October 7, 2021 - Drinking well right now. Mellowed, but still fruity. Oak present but restrained.
March 6, 2021 - Drinking beautifully
December 22, 2019 - As last year, smooth and integrated. Well made and it has held up with fruit diminishing but still showing through: strawberry, caramel,toast. Ready to drink list was spot on--enjoy now!
October 21, 2018 - MOE: This is really nice. Translation-“Exceptional”
October 19, 2018 - Way better than I was expecting. Smokey, fruity and delicious.
September 28, 2018 - Much better than previous bottle I had last year. This was more sumptuous, complete and refined. Very nice, defined fruit, some dryness on the finish, classy. Very nice for the vintage.
June 20, 2018 - Very average. More fruit forward than the typical 2011 Napa cab, but it’s not very well integrated.
June 1, 2018 - Fully integrated, silky smooth. Moves from lighter cherry and dried strawberry through to caramel notes on the medium long finish. Good now and for a couple more years.
November 5, 2017 - A bit rustic, lacking some charm upon opening. I believe they used. Ostly or all American oak for this and it shows. Has good body but slightly pruney. Better on the 2nd day - more resolved.
August 20, 2017 - Last one! Dark fruit soft tannins definitely ready to drink!
