haven’t had a big, jammy california cab in many years. enough complexity going on here to make it a relatively fun drink. immensely quaffable. good to go to things you don’t always go to! — 3 years ago

the nose is really, really nice with all kinds of fruity funk. but, wow. the acidity on this is ripping. almost metallic. the palate is so incredibly sour, fresh, vibrant with a soft wood/cidery undertone. the finish really balances the wine out with notes of wild strawberry and rhubarb. what a wild bottle. what a fantastic wine. — 3 years ago
