Earthier than 2008, can't wait to see how this evolves

Jul 6th, 2014Lots of great dark fruit, cherry and oak. Tannins are still very aggressive even though it's 9 years old. Needs more aging.

Mar 26th, 2014Undecided about this wine...Black strap molasses..black licorice...stewed dark fruit...dried cherries ...still overly hot on the midpalate..and throat..dusty tannins on the finish...I think I rated this higher previously...increased aeration time..the more disjointed it became.. maybe a bad bottle...

Nov 10th, 2018Two hour decant on this. Color of purple that fades from opaque in the middle..to tanslucent...ending with a clear thin rim.
Very fruit forward..blackberry..cherry...vanilla...
Fig...Graham cracker crust. Tannins are still
Gripping..pretty hot on the midpalate. More aging potential for sure! Very nice Napa cab!

Solid flavors of mineral, currant, blackberry with nice structuring tannins.

Dec 20th, 2017Big dark berry, if not chewy, offering. Big tannins and hint of tobacco. Apparently this vintage was to honor the mother of winemaker Gerhard. I would say he honored her well
