  April 7, 2022 - First bottle of six purchased directly, not decanted. Color is a deep purple, with zero signs of bricking. The nose on this wine! Explosive out of the glass with deep dark fruit, cassis, spice, anise, and minerals. Still somewhat grippy tannins, the wine is full and lush and pleasingly round and robust, with great acidity and plenty of fruit. No rush on this, I'll drink my remaining bottles over the next 5+ years.

  February 9, 2022 - Good, but modest development & probably worth drinking sooner than later. Most notable change vs last tasting several years back is a bit more prominent alcohol on the nose and midpalate. Otherwise, it's a well-done large scale Napa Cab. Vanilla, melted licorice, charcoal, touches of char on the nose. Full bodied, decent supporting acid, tannins modest & shrouded by the weight. Delicious, if a little simple

  December 24, 2021 - We don’t drink many California wines anymore, but we both enjoyed this one. A nice balance of rich, dark fruit, and acidity. A little oak and maybe chocolate. I wish I had a few more.
