  November 29, 2023 - Had it cellared in a temperature controlled environment which makes the wines hold up. Pleasantly surprised. Tasted fresh, nice integrated tannins, well balanced, Nice cassis, berry notes. Went well with steak. Could hold up for another few years, but alas, my last bottle. So far, this one has held up better with age than most other Cameron Hughes Cabs, which tend to last about 10 -12 years. This one close to 19 years!

  July 19, 2020 - Decanted for 4 hours. It is smooth and mellow without much bite. Good sipper but not enough tannins to pair with a steak. The previous piney notes are completely gone leaving rich dark berries and cassis.

  February 24, 2018 - Dark, brown red, mild subdued nose, chalky, short finish, but surprised that is drinking this well for a 2005 Cameron Hughes Yountville.

  December 24, 2017 - Flipped the order of Xmas meals this year, so we had this Xmas eve. Again, needs a little air to come out. Holding steady for the last several years, some secondary notes, etc. Just three more bottles, three more years.

  October 11, 2015 - Color: Garnet ruby
  Nose: little chalk, light fruit
  Palate/finish: very easy like not exotic at all. A little too nothing going on for me. Minimum tannins and body, very short finish
