  April 27, 2019 - i'm really confused with most of the CT notes. the wine was like cherry compote in the glass and drank like it. nothing said napa valley floor cab to me. tart red flavors and uninspiring aromatics. huge letdown.

  September 23, 2017 - Popped and poured, moderate ruby hue, quite youthful. Pronounced aromas of red fruits, red bean paste, cassis, mint, autumnal foliage, sandalwood and a mélange of spice (ginger, cinnamon, clove). Decadent fruit flavors of raspberry, blueberry and blackcurrant are livened with decent acidity. The tannins are refined and nearly indiscernible on a finish of extreme persistence.
  Completely succeeds in pushing all of the boundaries (and profoundly at that), words can do no justice.
  
  Quick comment: one of Mike Smith's best, absolute WOW

  January 31, 2015 - Wow!...An absolutely lovely expression of Cali Cab with just enough age on it...perfectly integrated tannins and silky smooth with dark red fruit on the nose...a guest said it was one of the best Cabs he has ever had.

  May 30, 2014 - Had the fruit profile that I expect from a Cali cab, but not the body. Very medium bodied. Very good overall but not outstanding.

  January 10, 2014 - Decanted for 30 minutes. Some muted fruit. Nowhere near as good as last bottle. Perhaps an off bottle or in a dumb phase right now.
