Dec 13th, 20132007 tasting great. Balanced and smooth, slight hints of plum, tobacco, pencil, wet stone. Well worth the wait in tasting. 2007 is a fantastic year in Napa

Nov 13th, 2018It's that full cabernet you like. A lot of legs and still says " ummmmm why did you open me today,? I'll be better in 5 years" Well ok I agree but as you know you cannot put the wine back in the bottle. Most of the time I do like my cabs young and fruity, (can I say that? ). Anyway this one give time if you have. Meanwhile as I write this I can smell cedar and pepper. The palate says black currants and spices. Rich dark color but relax wait! You know what forget it. It's ready now. Just needed more time.

Aug 27th, 2016Could not be mistaken for anything but a Napa cab, right down the middle of the road. Big black fruity nose, tiny bit hot. Vanilla and well-extracted dark fruit, juicy acidity. Touch of smoke. I love to drink these but often find myself wondering what else I could get for over $100...
