Spectacular. 2016 Kathryn Hall Cab. 2 hour decant. Bold and smooth, complex. Black fruit, some spice. Unreal mouthfeel. Nice long finish. Was worried that my palate is not developed enough to appreciate this quality, but this is worth it. — 4 years ago

Auditions for everyday cab. Saw it recommended on Wine Access. Right now I have Justin Cab in the lead. Starting my deep dive wine education, so I’m not describing notes, flavors etc quite yet. But I like this Martin Ray 2017. A couple months from now I hope to have the vocabulary to deacribe precisely why. — 5 years ago

Starting my angry Mardi Gras drinking. No parades. No balls. No fun. Should be out at Muses tonight, riding Krewe D’Etat tomorrow. THIS SUCKS. Oh and the wine is fine. — 4 years ago

The strong plum/Dark berry turned me off a bit. Decanted for an hour. Probably needs some age? I’ll return to this later, as people seem to have a much higher opinion — 5 years ago
