March 24, 2024 - Drinking so so well. So impressed. And glad I waited.
Densely packed. Concentrated sweet fruit. Toasted oak Elements. Crushed stones. Melted black licorice. Lit tobacco with hints of zesty herbs.
Nice acidity, grainy tannins on long finish.3 people found this helpful Comment -

November 9, 2023 - Three hour decant. Deep dark magenta color. Boysenberry pie, lemon pound cake, graphite, fresh fig, and rose petals. Dry, slightly tart, strawberry-laden palate, with satiny, tongue coating acidity. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.
I didn’t enjoy this nearly as much as my last bottle (about a year ago). It’s good, but not great. The tartness on the palate was distracting. Even so, I’d call this your prototypical Napa CS in regard to weight and structure.1 person found this helpful Comments (8) -

September 24, 2022 - This is a very good wine that I found enjoyable. Great color, an enticing deep, dark, rich purple with a nice florals. On the palate nice berry fruits (black and blueberry, black cherry, blackcurrants and plum) with more of a masculine, full bodied makeup and smooth yet grainy tannins. This is a wine that should be decanted (I didn't) and it would have probably shown better but I'd give this wine a solid 94/ 94+ Points. I paid a few bucks north of a Benjamin and I'd say that's in line with a wine of this class.
