This taste ridiculously good at this moment in time. Sodt dark fruit notes on the nose. Red fruits as well but but as sweet smelling as well. Nice fruit flavors on the palate with tannins that are pretty much integrated into the wine. The tannins take over slightly but not heavily. Finish last quite long. I’m thoroughly surprise at how well this wine is. I thought it would be very primary being a well know cab from Cali an the price point. Wish I had more of these. I get more red fruits on the palate than dark fruits. I popped an poured this btw. All in all a really great wine for the price. Compared to my last bottle from a few months ago this is the opposite of what i had prior. Last time i decanted the wine this time I opened an enjoyed immediately. Maybe why I’m feeling diff about this bottle vs the last.
Next day a 91. Semi one dimensional like my previous bottle but with some flare. Still has an extra level but not like yesterday. In my opinion drink this on a pop n pour to be at its best. Still drinking well but not as good as the first day.

Popped in poured on this one. Super smooth. As if it has been again for a while longer than it actually has. Everything is kind of in sync . Flows like water. This is drinking great right out of the bottle. Revisit in one hour.

Pop n poured. Abrasive an not in a good place immediately. Starts to get better 20 mins later. Fruit starts to show an tannins start to mellow out.
