  This was really good. 20 minutes decant. Great mouthfeel, smooth and elegant. Dark plums and spice. Long finish. One of the best cabs I have had in a long time. Punches way above its price point. I was stunned that this came from what was supposed to be a bad vintage.

  A quick 30 min decant, I liked it even more tonight. This is some great juice.

  I organized a blind tasting of different California Cabs. All decanted 4 hours in advance. All the Cabs were 2017. Robert Mondavi to Kalon, Shafer 1.5 and Crown Point from Santa Barbara. This Crown Point blew away the Napa wines. It wasn’t even close, so much depth and this is fully developed, this is definitely in its drinking window but can easily go another 10-15 years. This wine can take on some of the Napa Heavyweights that are much more expensive. I’ll do another blind tasting putting this wine against some Bigger Napa wines of the same vintage.
