January 10, 2022 - Pop and pour. Going strong! Plenty of redcurrant on the full palate with a medium finish of well-aged fruit and leaves. The '99 Napa Cabs are inconsistent but this is a winner.

February 5, 2012 - Giants win the Super Bowl! (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): From magnum. Aromatic nose with black plum and cassis along with some cigar and anise. Same very good sweet fruit on palate, not showing lots of spice, then finishing a bit simple.

November 15, 2011 - Loved this wine. A more feminine Napa blend, with floral tones and nice complexity. If the price is right, a real winner.
