Decanted for 3 hours before dinnner and paired with wagyu filet

Generally good robust fruit flavors but overall this wine seemed muted and did not pop with anything special. Somewhat surprised - maybe an off bottle. Still good and enjoyable with meal but shy of expectations — 10 days ago

I gave this a lot of air and it’s still not where I was hoping it would be. Sure it’s not a CA Cab but still. It’s light on the palate, not a great finish and a more tannic, drying overall than I prefer. — 2 months ago

Face off of the 2010 Cabernets with FirstLight Steak tenderloin. Dancing Bear comes out the winner with a touch more fruit and depth to it over the Quilceda Creek. Both wines decanted 90 mins. Smooth yet complex. — 8 months ago

PnP. Probably needed a decant. Higher OH than I expected with dark fruit. Medium plus depth and somewhat rustic. — 2 days ago

Really tasting amazing. Lots of tartrate crystals. Paired fantastically with a mushroom bolognese. — 2 months ago

A first time wine for me. Nice oak treatment with vanilla and smoke. Overall good tannic structure and balance. Too herbaceous for my tastes… — 8 months ago

Delicious dark fruits and fragrant nose, opening up as time passed after uncorking. The tannins have all but melted away and the wine is fully mature and drinking beautifully. A little surprised that the mid palate was not as heavy as expected but it could be the impact of the 19 years of aging. Brought this one to the restaurant from home. — a month ago

This was great! Multiple hour decant. Silky texture. Nice balanced between fruit and terroir. Elegant and high quality! — 3 months ago

Delicious and compared to the 2013 quilceda creek from last night. Dark berry with charcoal and rustic flavors. Could’ve used more airtime. Overall very good. — 7 months ago
