  February 4, 2024 - One hour double d. Firm round tannins, good acidity and fair complexity. Very well made wine paired with skirt steak and risotto porcini trifolati.
  
  Great afternoon!

  August 29, 2023 - Absolutely stunning. Opened 2 hours before drinking it, poured a small glass straight after opening to check the wine. When we got to it, what a wine. In a great phase of its life, could develop more in a decade but seems to be in the right spot if you like fruit and more than just primary fruit. Everything is in balance. A profound wine and a reminder why some Californian cabs are truly amazing and not just alcoholic oak fruit bombs.

  March 18, 2022 - I've tried many cabs from this age in the last few years. This one had no fade and is juicy and wonderful. Thankfully, the cork held up too and had a long way to go. Most of the cabs like Caymus, Conn Valley Anderson, Frank Family, Heitz, Bryant Family, etc. all go to the same place with a linear finish that is underwhelming. I applaud the vintage. I want a different experience in each cab and got it here. Other than Diamond Creek can't think of the last time I get a different flavor profile. Well done.

  February 5, 2021 - One of the best California Cabs I have had in a long time. Nose is good with dark fruit and earth tones. The wine is well made with a nice mouth feel and palate to match a wine of this price point. Top quality juice from a good maker.

  February 16, 2020 - Rich deep purple with a big dark currant nose. This time I decanted the bottle for two hours which made a huge difference in the mouth feel and softness of the wine. Silky smooth dark berries and sweet plums with a hint of chocolate. 3hrs after opening the wine was still unfolding. 2007 and no sediment.
