  October 23, 2022 - Deep ruby colored with a touch of staining on the walls and slow moving legs (14.5% ABV). The nose has pronounced aromas of cassis, menthol, blackberry, blueberry coulis, chocolate dust, açaí berry and some baking spice- very complex but primal in nature. The palate is dry with medium (-) acidity and really grippy medium (+) tannins that are very fine-grained. Full bodied, this wine coats my mouth with cassis, blackberry, açaí, blueberry jam and some hints of oak. The finish is long with a slightly bitter vein. I like this wine- it screams Cali sunshine in it's ripeness and fullness. 91 points for this $56 effort makes it a 4 star wine. I'm pairing it with roasted Sirloin Cap and a mushroom gravy. Drink this relatively cellar-worthy wine till 2028.

  July 5, 2022 - The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, raspberry and bready. It tastes like blackberry, molasses and alcohol/hot. The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

  November 8, 2020 - A bit perfumed, big and intense, framed by some acidity on the finish. This has a lot of stature, still feels a bit young. Promising.

  March 21, 2020 - What can I say? It's Cabernet Sauvignon, made in one of my favorite years for wine, by an excellent maker.
