September 14, 2018 - Decanted briefly. Deep maroon color but not purply. Aromas of crushed ripe, Bing cherries, forest floor, cocoa powder, and a touch of cedar. It is a rich wine and full bodied but balanced with firm acidity. Delicious.

December 31, 2017 - New Years Eve (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Purple color. Slow-O over 3+ hours, drank a glass on day one and revisited on day 3. The word masculine comes to mind when drinking this wine. A bit of a heavyweight boxer with a ton of power and concentration, a little herbaceous on the nose, with blackberry, huckleberry, and black currants, pepper and anise along with new wood. The palate has tart black fruits, tart plum skin, juneberry, green tobacco leaf, and wood. The tannins have nice silky texture on day 3, though they were firmer and still have some grip. There was some heat, though far less on day three. Lots of structure and depth, this was more enjoyable on day 3 with a nice classic big style cab nose that lost its herbaceousness and added some earth and nuance. It would have paired awfully well with a big juicy steak. This is one of those wines that I'd like to see again at 15 and then 20 years of age to see how it ages. 90ish day 1 and probably 91 on day 3.

April 1, 2017 - Still very young, big and strong. Cherries and currants up front, then finishes with a bit of mint and chocolate.
