Very nice after a moderately insane week at work. Smooth but intense with tobacco and vanilla aromas

Wonderful balance and power but much too young for drinking now

Very well balanced considering 15.5%. Probably wouldn’t repeat given cost but a nice wine nonetheless.

At an Orin Swift dinner this wine is paired with Beef Short Rib. Full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon

Another solid vintage of this wonderful wine. Still a bit young but the foundation is there. Delightful dark cherry and plum fruit with cola, tobacco and herbal notes.. Very earthy! Soft texture and tannins. (Again, almost Merlot-like) Revisited in April 2024. Aging gracefully. Holding up beautifully.

Orin swift -good. Some bell peppers taste. Good dry cab. The bell peppers throw me off though. 9.0 The reserve isosceles Is much sweeter than this. $115
