Community Tasting Notes 4

January 17, 2023 - A bit more time in bottle has improved this as I hoped. Still not showing any dramatic notes of significant age, but does seem to hang together better and with a more attractive fruit profile. A really nice wine for the price, lacking the concentration and power of top tier, but otherwise a tasty California Cab that seems honest, balanced, and delicious.

June 25, 2021 - Similar to previous bottle, but I did have less issue with the fruit profile, so perhaps just a mood that day or bottle variation.

June 24, 2020 - This has great intensity and fullness while retaining nice balance, especially for the price. The fruit profile is flirting with zones that are not ideal to me (I think this is idiosyncratic), though overall quite pleasant. I think this will be better in a couple years. 89+
