March 31, 2023 - This was a high shoulder fill bottle and was still fresh though not youthful. Strong color and vibrant fruit. Classic older Napa Cab. Medium finish. Similar on Day 2.

October 16, 2019 - This needed an hour to open up a blow off some metallic notes. Once it had some air, this was a lovely aged cabernet. Gentle cherry fruit, medium body, ruby red. Elegant and enjoyable.
