November 17, 2020 - I’m a big fruit forward California cab guy. Maybe too much sometime. This was a perfect balance of fruit and a little tannin. Smooth but not too smooth if that makes sense. A bit of sediment but that’s expected in an 08 I think. Made a couple Costco steaks that we sous vide beforehand then finished on the grill. Perfect. Probably a bit much for a Tuesday!
July 10, 2020 - Might have been past it's optimum life
May 8, 2020 - Drank over 3 days. Needed only about 20 minutes to open up. A little tannic at first but good with a long chocolate, mocha finish. Got better with time. Great on the third day. Still a lot of life left and good now
January 15, 2018 - Full body, complex aromas and it is time to drink it up.
July 25, 2017 - Loved every sip! Still plenty of life left in these bottles. Thx Sam Baxter!
February 19, 2017 - Dark purple colored with aromas of lavender, violets, and dark berries; it almost has the same perfumed nose as a Cabernet Franc. It tastes fruit forward, with cassis, black cherries, and vanilla. This wine is medium bodied with good acidity and gritty tannins. Drink now! Excellent QPR ($24).
October 12, 2016 - Excellent.
We got at a bargain
Didn't realize what a gem this would be
Drinking amazingly well right now
Big beautiful spring mountain cab
