    February 3, 2024 - This is smoking good California wine that defies my usual statement that California wines dont age well. When I find wines like this that open so beautiful and gain muscle and become even stronger over a long drinking afternoon, I revert back to the old saying that "even a broken clock is right twice a day". Its ambitious to attempt and duplicate Bordeaux from California, and while this one is still fruit laden and wears a Smoky the Bear hat, it has lots of Bordeaux trapped inside the bottle. The deep vibrant fruit is laced with scents of barnyard, tobacco, and bits of graphite. Nothing meaty, murky, or tired like the 05' Les Pavots I had a few nights ago, this is just a lustrous beautiful wine with Latour like power, Montrose like character, and Haut Brion like fruit. I think you get the point...If blind, 1990 Bordeaux. This is ready! Drink!!!!

    April 22, 2023 - Red and dark fruit, unsmoked cigar wrappers, graphite and old shoe leather come together to create a classic Napa Valley blend. At age 21, it is singing beautifully. This wine has evolved nicely. Great juice.

    May 3, 2021 - Popped, breathed in bottle 1 hour, consumed over next two. Tannin is nicely resolved, a tiny bit of the fruit has receded and tobacco notes have moved forward the same tiny bit. Really nice Napa Cab made in an older, more classic style.

    July 31, 2020 - Initial nose is absolutely gorgeous; quintessential Napa but clearly reminiscent of old-world purity (perhaps Pessac Leognan, Bordeaux) & considerable new world exuberance. Alluring, very well balanced (Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Merlot) and tightly structured with abundant red fruit flavors. Not a huge wine style but rather deep and brooding; it’s very similar to 20-year-old La Mission Haut-Brion. This is the “perfect wine” to pair with a porterhouse steak with gorgonzola, onions, and peppers. Yum!

    July 1, 2019 - Absolutely stunning, no sign of age, the cab franc is in control, ++++ on all levels.
    Drink now thru 2022.
