  January 13, 2024 - Decanted and let breath for four hours. Big wine with a seductively soft mouthfeel. Aroma of fennel, some chocolate and coconut with flavors of plum, cranberry, and dark fruits. Excellent finish. Great drinking spot now with a decant and long breath, but has years of cellaring to go. I’ll likely hit my last bottle inside of the next 3-4 years.

  October 28, 2021 - Like the last one , mediocre. Barnyard is still there and thin. . Not a fan.

  June 5, 2021 - Not much improvement over first bottle. Again, aromatics are right on for Oakville Cab (blackberry, red cherry, plum and vanilla spice), but massively disappoints on the palate - too much oak, stemmy and green, and something sour on the finish. They pitch this as a baby Silver Oak, but this is nothing close.

  May 23, 2021 - Excellent cab but it must be decanted for at least an hour and a half to let it open up. The reward for your patience is a real transformation of the depth of flavors, mouthfeel and finish from OK to “Wow, that’s great juice!”
