September 18, 2021 - One of the best most quintessential bomb Alexander Valley cabs. Fruit forward with dark cherry and blackberry with secondary notes of bell pepper. Perfectly balanced tannins. Zero sediment whatsoever. Bright. Will continue to be great for years to come.

April 19, 2021 - Wine was properly stored from purchase upon release until consumed.
Perhaps surprising, the wine, which was drunk with the winemaker, was beautiful. Full berries and fruit bouquet, lovely balance, resolved tannins and great mouthfeel. -

September 26, 2015 - At 10 years of age, this wine is amazing! It is dark, juicy, slightly smoky and balanced.

May 25, 2013 - This one is still okay and smoky to my palate. I would say that this bottle had some hints of aging (aging good not aging bad) but if you have more than a bottle or two I would check this one in about a year to see where it stands. It was good over two days. I will drink the last bottle at 10 years (2015) if I bother to read this note before I pull it off the shelf.
