Sep 23rd, 2015Not too old, not to young, not too bad. Quite a bit of structure not overly extracted.

Jan 3rd, 2015Yummy , touch of mocha , wrapped around a core of vibrant fruit. Balanced with plenty of life ahead.

Jan 3rd, 2015Coffee, tilled black earth, warm currants, vanilla bean, baklava and lilies. Really balanced and drinking like a featherweight champ despite its depth of flavors, medium plus mouthfeel, with smoke-like textures. Rich and viscous but exhibiting baked strawberry, blackberry, sweet cigar notes and cedar with a touch of resinous licorice. Right time right place. Ridiculously Califonrnia, yet just the muscled juice injection I was craving. Pine tar to the meat of the bat, dinger imminent!

Feb 26th, 2015Excellent cab with interesting notes of chocolate and blackberry. A punch of fresh pepper and long slightly dry finish envelop the mouth. Absolutely lovely.
