February 11, 2021 - I picked this up thinking it was the Cab and had long since forgotten it. It may be technically past it cellar point but I found it to still be full of raspberry jam and with tannins still very much present. Good Napa Nose with a bit of wildflowers and earth. Not tawny or brick on the edge but no longer purple either. Nice deep dive cellar find wealths the peanut butter, Maynard likey.

April 18, 2017 - Still an excellent merlot, but beginning to fade. The "bigness" that other CT folks have noted has begun to drift away.

September 27, 2016 - Very enjoyable but no longer as impressive. My last bottle. No need to wait on this one.

June 13, 2016 - Signs of age. Very pleasant and still has some boldness and depth, but lacks that youthfullness and punch that made this wine truly hedonistic. I will drink my last bottle sooner than later and suggest you do the same.
