January 4, 2022 - This is in a very nice place - mature, but vibrant, black fruits with just a touch of sweetness to them. Napa Cab through and through, but not overdone. Certainly won't win awards for elegance, but the stucture is there, even if it sometimes feels a bit one dimensional and with blurred edges. Very nice.

June 10, 2021 - Color: deep garnet
Nose: plum, earth, anise
Taste: plum, cherry, raspberry, anise
This is exactly how Cali cabs should age - now well integrated flavors with juicy red fruit, plum upfront and anise and cedar follow. Very smooth glycerin mouthfeel with a nice lingering finish. I have one more that I think can go a few more years. -

February 6, 2020 - Decanted for sediment, been almost seven years since last tasted, never been impressed according to three previous notes as I found this to be harsh and disjointed. This particular bottle was an exception, loads of dark plum, dark currants, cherry, very juicy with hints of olives. Not sure if it was the bottle or the extended bottle age but I’m not complaining.

November 2, 2019 - A solid yet simple Cali Cab Sav. Cork broke in half as it’s been on its side for over 10 years. In a great place at age 14 years with slightly grippy tannins. Can likely age a few more years easily. But in a perfect spot for drinking. Nothing spectacular with little complexity but will pair well with anything.
