This wine continues to improve, Long finish — 24 days ago
DEEP red color, almost black and non-see-through. Big fruit forward nose, jammy dark ripe fruits, with hints of blood orange and violet peppered in. A big fruit palate with hints of graphite, vanilla and wood, with tight tannins that hang on and don’t let you forget, with a lithe, tight acidity that shows that it still needs some time to reach its peak, despite the pedigree. This is a prime example of modern Napa cab, dry but fruity, but bombs, American as hell, distinctive and brash, and not ready to play on the big stage, but lots of potential. — a month ago
Finally i bought a Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness of a Bordeaux. A beautiful, powerful, complex steak wine. Cranberry, earth, tar, leather, and spice. Smooth and elegant with smooth bitter tannins in the finish. — 8 days ago

May be my favorite vintage of last decade, displacing 2013, which is recently drinking quite nicely. Time will tell if it holds up as well. — 5 days ago

Wow. This this is everything you could want it a wine. It’s big and bold. The aroma pops right out of the glass and fills the room. My son who I usually go to for commentary on the nose said there was no need for me to pass the glass. He said it was liked you open up a huge bottle of fruit punch. The aromatics were amazing and the taste on the palate was just as big. Delicious and a long finish to bring it home. This was great. — 17 days ago
