  Opened and decanted 1.5 hours ahead of seared filet, roasted potatoes, and grilled zucchini in olive oil. Was reductive on opening but the nose eventually blossomed into a lovely floral array of cherry blossoms, potpourri, red roses, crushed gravel, and mint. The palate is medium-full, round, silky, and voluptuous, bringing blackberries, blueberries, and cherries, followed by scattered coffee, tobacco, eucalyptus, leather, and that orange peel note into a refined finish. Much improved over our last tasting a few years ago, as this has retained its outstanding acidity and refined tannins yet developed more fruit and freshness on the palate. Drink 2024-2030. Technical score: 93. Enjoyment score: 93.

  Excellent wine. First impression was good after popping the cork. Smooth and full of complex flavors - dark fruits and tannins. After decant everything was balanced. Wish I had more!

  This is too young to drink...closes down pretty fast.

  Decanted for an hour plus. Nicely balanced with a hint of cinnamon spice on the front end along with blue fruits that covered the palate. Medium body and medium length finish, displaying Spring Mountain District fruit throughout. Drink now or enjoy over the next three to five years.

  Opened and decanted an hour ahead of seared NY Strip off the grill. Dark crimson color. The floral nose brings cherry blossoms, spring violets, blackberry jam, and some hints of herbs and spices. The palate is medium, round, compact, and juicy, bringing a large red core of red cherries, raspberries, and pomegranate encased in plums, blueberries, and fresh blackberries, followed by lingering tobacco, eucalyptus, and orange peel into a smooth, refined finish. This is the definition of an elegant, old-school Napa Cab, and should reward another 10+ years of aging. Drink 2022-2032+. Technical score: 93. Enjoyment score: 93.
