May have left this too long. There is a slight bitter note on the finish. But it disappears with food. We enjoyed this wine with dinner. Decent fruit and balance. Wish I would have tried sooner.

A Last Bottle mystery wine. Showed better than expectations given some prior CT notes on the wine. Nice display of intensity and structure, tighter black/purple fruit core. Hint of mint in the midpalate, but this is nice CA cab profile. A little lean (olive scents) when first popped, filled out in the glass as the night went on. Good now, but could hold further.. Bottle weight was hefty, that glass must be expensive.

Deep color. Fruit forward with a bit of volatility in the nose and taste. Ready to drink now due to moderate acidity and little tannin. Mercifully, only 13.9% alcohol. $70+ upon release. Yikes!

This really opened up after a two hour decant. Soft, well integrated tannins and typical varietal notes.

Acidic, vinegary mid palate. No depth. More a $5 wine.
