  Broken cork with decanter save at restaurant. Served with mushroom short ribs. At its peak and a quick ride. Drink now if u can.

  PnP. This is in a really good spot. Quite lovely. Old school Napa, less cherry extraction and more tannin, more character, more of what "estate napa cab" should be. Medium body and really just nicely balanced overall. Don't hold. Drink now.

  Decanted for 45 minutes and over the course of eating charcuterie. Deep purple hue. A nose of dark jammy fruit and some florals. Well balanced, mildly fruit forward but not too interesting. On its own it has some depth and is well integrated making it pretty enjoyable however I had this wine first in a line up of 2013's which included Hewitt, Del Dotto and Quintessa giving it a more significant perspective. This came in at the bottom of the bunch. Drink up as I don't see this getting any better.

  Very dark and rich. First few sips were an explosion of currant and berries with a long finish. With a little air time, the fruit became darker and some tobacco and cedar notes opened up. In a great spot now. Some of the pro reviews dissed on being rough and abrasive. If this wine had those rough edges early, I think they are long gone.
