April 6, 2024 - Nice full bodied cab in the Napa style. Fruit and oak equal measures with velvety tannins and dry finish.

September 15, 2022 - PNP but consumed over two hours. Predominately black cherry, leather and tobacco flavors delivered on a medium mouthfeel with a silky texture. Classic Montelena presentation with many years of life ahead. Recommend a two hour decant if drinking currently.

May 13, 2022 - Let this one breathe more than 15 min. More like 1 to 2 hours. All in all a superb wine. Had with a nice steak.
