January 18, 2023 - my lone bottle...was a gift a few years back. Popped, let air 30 mins in the glass....approachable velvet lush cherry/blueberry integrated fruit...no tannins to speak of....one dimensional and easy to pair with a filet. concentrated deep purple. Don't find the need to buy more of this...
April 7, 2017 - Still holding well. Needs a little decanting to soften tannins and bring out the dirty cherry, cedar, tobacco, little bit of spice and light hint of chocolate mint
January 20, 2017 - Very good wine!!
January 18, 2017 - This took an hour or more to show fully. Concentrated, nice tannins, lovely black fruit, some cedar and steely minerality. This was really poised and impressive, with serious backbone.
November 25, 2016 - Rich blackberry nose. Fruit forward blackberry and plum on the palate. Still good structure with medium-high tannin and high acidity. mid-palate of mostly graphite with a touch of tobacco. medium length dark chocolate finish. Still plenty left... I believe this is your drinking window now, but this could last another 5 years, if you enjoy a little less fruit and softer tannin. Great Napa Cab with a 10-15 year drinking window. Enjoy!
April 22, 2016 - big, rich, 100% cab, well integrated, certainly has a lot of life left.
March 20, 2016 - Took some time to open up. After about 3 hours it showed great fruit and balance. A heavy Napa cab. A bit expensive.
March 10, 2016 - inky red; fruit forward -- hints of cherries, plums, prunes, apricots; tannin a little out of balance (strong); slight effervescence -- maybe aged too long; finish is decent
November 18, 2014 - Still very young. It needs plenty of time to decant before drinking. Excellent.
August 30, 2014 - Absolutely amazing bottle. Big and bold with predominate dark fruit. Very tasty
