August 17, 2020 - Here is a wine I never thought I would see again. Not quite as rich, fresh or dense as the previous bottle, yet this was still a sublime example of a classic California Cabernet with all the bright red fruits, cedar, herbs, earth and tobacco you need. A bit stern, the wine finishes with a blend of cherries, thyme and herbs. This is fully ready for consumption.

February 21, 2019 - It is difficult to believe that not only is this more than 50 years of age, released the year Hendrix produced "Electric Ladyland", but the wine is stunning! One of the best older, classic California wines I have ever tasted, this is dense, full bodied, and loaded with ripe cherries, pipe tobacco, cigar box, herbs, wet earth and smoke. The wine has body, depth, complexity and character that shine from start to finish. This deserves to be talked about as one of the top, older California wines ever made!

beautiful bricking color
first nose with cherries, flowers, roses and leather
medium-bodied a lot of structure and acids...not a ton of fruit yet fully integrated
