    December 17, 2022 - This wine is in incredible condition. It is possibly better than I remember from a few years back. Can't help but think this can go a few more years, but not sure it will get much better than it is right now.

    March 28, 2020 - Bright crimson in color. 14.4% ABV. Sublime nose of black and blue fruits, molten licorice, violets and Whitman Sampler box. Full bodied, silky and concentrated. Impeccable balance. Blackberry, blueberry, cassis liqueur and chocolate on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish with well integrated tannins. Tremendous Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Napa's iconic vineyards. Best over the next 2-3 years.

    October 26, 2019 - No need to rush on this as it would seem to still have at lease 3-5 years left in it. Fruit is still there with a bit of spice as well. Tannins are pleasant. Just an all around good wine. I have never been disappointed by Herb Lamb Cab and it remains one of my top 3-5 CA cabs at the price point.

    October 2, 2017 - Fairly nice cab, but horrible QPR. I paid $160 for this, and I have had many $40 bottles of cab better than this.

    Shame on me.
