August 5, 2022 - Two hour double decant. Very deep dark ruby magenta color. Sugar plum, black cherry, date, and Swedish pancakes with caramel drizzle on the nose. Smooth, tongue drying palate. Very firm tannins on the longish finish.
This is likely just past its peak for my palate, but still drinking very close to that peak. It won’t likely get any better for me. Very enjoyable, nicely aged Napa CS. -

April 24, 2021 - Decanted 2 hours. Nice balanced Cabernet. Nose of bright fruits coupled with tobacco and leather components. Wine opened up nicely with nice backbone and acidity but nice finish at the end.

February 3, 2020 - Medium nose shows brooding fruit, dried spice, black plum, graphite, espresso, crushed violets. Palate is big style, spice, white pepper, red hots, dark dried fruits, compote, graphite, fresh earth, coffee grounds, structure shows off, full tannins, med acidity. Big flavors but needs time too.

February 13, 2019 - Having had the 2012 recently made me interested in trying this vintage. I was not disappointed.
The flavors of plum and currants were very enjoyable but not why I found this wine so wonderful. It was the texture that was so mesmerizing. This has wonderful layered depth but also a satisfying Woody raspiness to it. I think a few years time will do wonders for this wine.
