April 10, 2024 - Dark cherry and blackberry on the nose and palate. Lots of i]oak, but not overbearing. Needed about 90 minutes to soften and open up. Drank over 2 nights and it was fantastic both nights. A lot of sediment, so I recommend decanting.
February 11, 2024 - Dark color. Full body with mild-moderate acidity and moderate-high tannins. Notes of dark fruit, baking spice, and a slight graphite note on the finish. Overall great wine at a good price.
July 22, 2023 - Clearly and right up front Cabernet fruit. On the palette the wine starts with blackberry, and moves onto plum skin, mulberry and held with a creamy texture which Like before seems Oak influenced. On the nose it is classic cabernet with blackberry aromatics, some leather and iron but mostly dark fruit.
May 26, 2023 - This gets better after some time, I recommend a decant. Forest floor, red fruit and tobacco. When drinking, cherry, nice acidity, drying tannins and long finish. Well balanced.
April 18, 2023 - A nose of cherry and spice, dark amber in color. A medium to full bodied Cab, with black cherry, currants, blackberry and chocolate. A smooth, easy drinking Cab, very good but great. www.winelx.com
April 16, 2023 - PnP. Inky purple w/ dark magenta edge in color. Nose of cassis, blackberries & five spice powder. On the palate: blackberries, black cherries, river rocks, vanilla & wood spice. Chewy tannins are starting to be integrated, but already unobtrusive; perceived on gums and cheeks. Medium-to-long finish of blackberries, black cherries, graphite and wood spice. Wine was just starting to open as we finished our meal...should have decanted 2+ hours. Would likely have scored it higher if I had decanted it properly (or kept it in the cellar for a few more years).
March 21, 2023 - Another respectable showing. The wine shows similar to my last tasting about 1 year ago. Cherry dominating the plum fruit but both very present.
January 20, 2023 - Delicious!
October 22, 2022 - Big bold Napa Cab. Night 1, oak was almost overpowering. Much better on night 2. Would let this one breathe for 90 minutes at least
September 17, 2022 - Tracy likes it. Could buy again.
