November 18, 2018 - Welcoming, warm, seductive. A wine of grace and finesse rather than power and flash. A delight. In great shape. A triumph for the vintage.

April 15, 2018 - Drinking beautifully right now. Plush mouthfeel and some nice secondary characteristics to complement the fruit, which is still going strong. A fine effort in a difficult vintage.

February 3, 2015 - Deep Red color with no brown on the edges. Rich blackberry with a chocolate backdrop. Dense and rich yet smooth as silk. And the classic Winston Hill nose in spades. This may be approaching its peak, but I am saving one more bottle for next year. California Cab doesn't get any better than this.

March 9, 2012 - Just spectacular. Last bottle of a case of this wine and I wish I had bought 5 cases. TONS of ripe, rich cassis with a hint of oak, vanilla, some Rutherford dust and a bit of earth & leather that emerge after an hour or two. Medium body with a super-silky/velvety texture and a long, long, long fruity (cassis), smooth finish. Plenty of structure to balance out all the extremely concentrated and ripe fruit. Big, but not overdone and reminds me of a 2nd growth bordeaux. Enjoyed it with veal chops and it was an absolutely perfect match. Seems to be improving with age - not losing any fruit or concentration, but mellowing and adding texture . Best cabernet I have in a long, long time.

December 16, 2011 - I can't put my finger on it but this wine seemed corked but not exactly. This is the third bottle that I have consumed over the past three years and not one of them has intrigued me. I may have to donate to a local charity as I doubt I will return to this wine.
