April 26, 2024 - Superb flavors of blueberry, blackberry and cassis in chocolate milk. Silky but young tannins followed by nice acidity and some vanilla.. Great balance overall. Not overdone like many Napa cabernet. 93-94

April 6, 2024 - This has a blackberry-blueberry-new leather nose. The structured palate leads with elevated crème de cassis and dark fruit, with notes of mocha, herbs and loam. The mouthfeel has an oaky creaminess coupled with very pleasing energy. As good as the 2017, but with a bolder, more fruit-dominant character.

February 24, 2024 - Really dark purple. An impressive steakhouse style wine. Big. Easy to drink without food. Probably a little young.
