April 12, 2022 - Fruit beginning to fade; rich and savory, better with food than as a sipper at this point. Wouldn't wait longer on this one

September 2, 2019 - This really showed well. Took an hour to open up. Was all gone quickly after that. A nice little menthol/eucalyptus/fennel thing on top of the well proportioned and balanced fruit, earth, and acidity.

November 28, 2015 - Was great after 3 hours in the decanter. Lasted another 4 or so then started to really mellow.

April 5, 2015 - Drank along side the Neal 2005 Second Chance vineyard Cab, both great wines!! I am rating them both 93 with just about the same notes, Great nose, color, structure and a spectatular Cab finish!!! Enjoy!!

January 30, 2015 - Very nice. Black fruits, currant, spicy and peppery, very earthy with some real foresty mossy notes as well. Long finish on the palate and lingers in the nose. Tannins are evident but not overpowering. As the wine opens, the spiciness is muted but still lingers in the nose and the messiness becomes more evident.
