  December 29, 2017 - Enjoyable after breathing for an hour or so in my glass and coming up to room temperature--the nose really opened up, cherry, spice, herb.

  April 27, 2016 - Of 3, I had 1st one 5-17-02, it started with a closed nose, smokey, subdued fruit; 2nd Feb 2009, very dusty, needed a steak to round out the harsh tartness, very rich and deep, but not good without food, decant the last one carefully; next day was a little more approachable without food; last Apr 2016, decanted clear, big cherry and dusty flowers and spices, slight tobacco too, full and slightly tart in mouth, very enjoyable start, see how it develops with some air, after an hour nose was even nicer, solid mature cab with plenty left, became rounder in mouth and nicely balanced.

  March 18, 2016 - Tried with Liz. On the nose scents of candied cherries, bramblebush (not sure what this is, but Liz swears it's there), slightly rotten raspberries, and old wood. Surprisingly prominent red fruit on the palate, particularly strawberries, and some olive tones ... very intriguing. Finish is of medium length and to me is characterized by mature red fruit and hints of pomegranate. Decanted only for sediment purposes, but this wine actually improved after 30-60 minutes of air. The wine soaked cork, successfully removed with only the most deft ah-so maneuvers, belied the beauty of this phenomenally aged Sonoma Cab. A spectacular success, and an absolute pleasure to drink. Hats off to Bruce ... your cellar continues to amaze.

  May 26, 2009 - We drank the 95 Stonestreet and 04 Honig at the Vinsanto Poker Tour game. The Stonestreet was amazing! Medium weight, good fruit, a little oak and very soft. The Honig had more weight and was darker. The fruit was nice, we drank this second and late in the evening, so nothing more to add.
