Saturday, February 12, 2022 - Blind Tasting Trio: California Reds, interpret as you will; 2/11/2022-2/12/2022: Part of a blind tasting, slow ox in bottle for two hours. This was my T-2 for the night (2nd place behind WineAccess Commission 2019, other wines were Duckhorn Merlot 17, Coho Merlot 16, Claudine Oakville CS 16).

Very consistent with my prior experience. Deep, dark, rich, can't miss this as Napa cabernet. Arguably too dense and extracted for my palate, but needs some time for the layers to crack open.

Have to say, this wine kept strong for 4-5 hours in the glass and open bottle, whereas some others just faded away completely. Suggests some structure and aging potential here.
