February 19, 2022 - Decabted to get rid of sediment, then decanted for 2 hours. Certainly didn't need that much time but errands took too long.
Anyway, great wine, very well made at 13/14 years old. To me this is medium to medium-full bodied, which is very nice given the plethora of jammy fruit bombs these days. This is still a little over the top, but in a good way. Had as a Friday night wine with the wife after the birth of our son Hudson, so her first wine back in a while.
Day 2, found its balance, seemed good and enjoyable the first night but now this is integrated and balanced. Glad to have some 2019's on their way, and will keep an eye out for more vintages as they come up. -

November 7, 2021 - Paired this with a ribeye and decanted for about 90 minutes. Great combo. Delicious. Very rich with blue and black fruit. Coats the tongue. Very good finish.

April 21, 2021 - Really like this cab. Decanted for 30 min. The nose has heavy hints of cedar and black cherry. The front of the palate hits you with a sweet black cherry before acidity and tannins take over. This wine would be perfectly paired with a heavy red meat dish. This wine will be good for many years to come.
