Slightly astonished to find that my last TN on this wine was over 12 years ago; where has this wine been hiding? The last TN from CT is 6 years ago. So I might have expected my note to be different this time from previous ones; but not the case, as it turns out. This wine is strong and would appear to have ample life left in it. I note the drinking window is set from 2010 - 2017. Well we are well past that now.

Five years ago, I had my first bottle of East Side. Today, it hasn't lost a step -- great Napa Cab from a great vintage. At an exceptional price. I may not know who Carl Roy is. But I know great value when I taste it. This is it.

Carl Roy still rolling along 17 years in. Dense garnet color, lots of dark, sweet berry fruit, moderate tannins. More life yet.

Last two. On was slightly corked but the other was excellent. It opened up after about 15 minutes. Great dark fruits, drink now.

Very tasty wine for the money. I paid $22 per bottle for a case.
