April 12, 2024 - Very good paso cab. Needed a good decant, but is drinking great.
December 23, 2023 - Tasted blind vs Long Shadows Pirouette. Preferred MFN, but close. Pirouette is quite closed on opening. MFN was too, but less so. Both better after 30-60+ mins. MFN has more fruit (esp. blue & black) compared to LS Pirouette. However, MFN is very far from a fruit bomb with lots of structure. It also has moderate herbal and earth notes. It drinks well above its price point. It should be better in 2-4 years.
September 21, 2023 - Decanted 55F, nose of raspberry and currants. Drinking nicely, good acidic bite at the back of the mouth leading to a generous finish. Peppery with a hint of dark cherry at mid pallete with burnt marshmallows(in a good way). I suspect with a good hour or so this will continue to open up.
More>> I'm now in hour 2 and this wine has opened up with some complexity. Its closing in on room temperature about 70F and I'm tasting cassis and chocolate. The finish is improving, it's delicious! moving this up a point to 93.
September 10, 2023 - Raspberries on the nose. Ripe blackberries on the palate that mellow into flavors of cherries with a hint of clove.
July 15, 2023 - A nose of dark fruits and spices, purple in color. A medium to full bodied red blend, with blackberry, cassis, chocolate and spice on dry finish. www.winelx.com

May 23, 2023 - Excellent right now!!!
March 27, 2023 - Very drinkable right now. A bit sweet for my preferences, but still quite good.
March 11, 2023 - lush and very smooth, red and black berry flavors with a bit of chocolate on the finish
December 3, 2022 - Delicious, crowd-pleasing Cab from central California. Just finished off 6th and final bottle over the past year. No need to lay this down. It drinks very well now. It may develop more, but is drinking wonderfully now. Tannins are well integrated and approachable. Highly recommended.
