  September 11, 2023 - Thinking about buying more to lay down but wanted to get an idea where it’s at first. Drank this bottle over two days. Enjoyable on day one after a four hour decant but better on day two as it opened-up some more as expected. Dark ruby fruit - currants, blackberry, and dark cherry. Smooth mid-palate with a nice purity and decent depth/concentration. Nice vibrant flavors of cassis, cocoa, some spice, and a mineral/graphite component. Decent finish but not overly long nor deep. 93 on day one and 94 on day two. Although it is obviously really young and will also benefit from some time. A nice vintage of this wine. 96% cab sauvignon and 4% cab franc.

  September 7, 2023 - Napa day trip (Promontory, Dakota Shy, Detert) (Napa): Dark and concentrated blueberries on the nose, accompanied by wet earth, and intense, bright green stems that adds a bit of excitement and freshness amongst the darkness (this blows off with time, I wish it stayed though).
  
  On the palate is a vortex of dark blue and black fruits, fruit infused earth, a trailing swirl of minerals and a gentle, sexy spiced damp oak at the end.
  
  All grapes sourced for this wine are mountain fruit. This is awesome juice and tasty af now. I wished there was just a touch more acidity, not that there wasn't any. Just surprised it was lacking some, being that its all mountain fruit. Nonetheless, amazing showing! A strong 95+

  September 7, 2023 - Composed of mainly Napa mountain fruit and is roughly 96% CS, 4% CF, this is a VERY good QPR for what it is, which is Napa Cab. Very big and indicative of other mtn and 21 vintage wines I have had so far, which are quite tannic early in its life. Will need a healthy decant if drunk now. Good fruit, decent structure and just a good wine at its price point. Would highly recommend for those who love this style.
