I wanted to like this but it didn’t try hard enough. It was decent the first night with some depth of black and blue fruit hiding the alcohol. Even somewhat enjoyable. Second night was harsh and alcoholic. On the plus side, it’s deep and concentrated and Napa-like, if you enjoy that sort of thing. But it’s just too much.

This Cab. has settled in to its sweet spot, 2020-2026. PnP and drank well from first sip. This is a Celia Welch crafted wine. Our wine group liked it but I didn’t think it had any special depth and uniqueness.

Dark and powerful with refined tannins. Drinking very well now without needing much air.
