  January 10, 2020 - Another Year, Another Napa (aka Winter in Wineland IV); 1/5/2020-1/11/2020 (Napa/Sonoma California): First time we've had an old one of these although have heard a lot about them. This was very nice. Still going well although I'd say probably right in drinking window. Towards the end of the night it was starting to fade just a bit. Dark fruits still there, but also more of the secondary cigar and forest floor notes. Enjoyable.

  July 5, 2016 - Pristine bottle- almost looked counterfeit except that at the price point I paid a few years ago, the hoodlum would have lost money... Great fill, label perfect. Beautiful color- no bricking. First scent on the nose had a slight bit dust (blew off) so no fake... Palate was young- softening but still had the sour, tight, slightly under-ripe Mayacamas signature. Dominated by sour cherry and leather with some hints of smoke. Would have benefitted from longer decant. Overall, very decent but the flavor profile was not overly compelling.

  April 17, 2016 - Drank with Mike, Lynne, Lisa, Britt and Chris for Lisa and Britt's birthday progressive appetizer dinner. Nose was a little closed, opened up after a few minutes. Did not decant or wait. Tart cherry preserve on the nose. Still some acidity. Clean short finish, no tannins left. Very smooth and plesant. Paired with pork ribs, cream potatoes and bacon maple brussel sprouts. Went very well with the sprouts.

  October 21, 2015 - Sweet spice and sweet beet juice on the nose. Pomegranate and black cherry emerge with some swirling as do light nutmeg and appealing mildew notes on the back of the nose. Fresh red cherry on the palate with must notes and well balanced acidity. Incredibly fresh bottle given the age of this wine. Served with roasted rack of lamb with caramelized porcini. Bottle from winery cellar. 92+

  February 15, 2014 - Visiting Napa (Feb 13th - 17th); 2/13/2014-2/17/2014 (Napa, CA): Nose: Blackberry, Currant and Juniper. Eucalyptus and slight mint tea notes. Palate: Light/Medium bodied and extremely silky. Still retaining some ripe fruit, but tannins are long gone here. Blackberry, Cherry preserves and a nice pommegranate note. Good acidity and balance. Finish: moderate, but delivers cranberry and red currant with some mineral notes.
