New vintage - same beautiful cab. In fact I think it’s even better now. Jumping right out of the bottle, no decanting necessary. Easily beats any Napa cab that costs twice as much.

Drank with SG friend for a hairy crab meal. very blackcurrant and taste abit like sweet port and bitter sweet. after some air the aroma got better with blue fruit, floral and mineral. overall drank too young but the overall impression is dark bold port sweet like character with a classic blue fruit napa nose. i like it

Oct 22nd, 2023Wonderful fruity aroma, rich sweet flavor, hint of spice and cloves, intense mouthfeel. Great on its own or with chocolate.

Jul 21st, 2023Rich scent of coffee on the nose. Vanilla, black cherry, smoke, and a touch of coffee on the palette. Dark and big but the spice and oak aren’t too harsh.
