Fantastic depth, complexity and balance. Just kept evolving all night after a 5 hour decant. Several tasting notes are out there. Vinous (Galloni) note is right on. The predominant fruit has a nice cherry core, with all kinds of flavors riffing off of it. It’s best years are still ahead.

A truly amazing wine. It took about 90 minutes in the decanter to start opening up but when it did this turned into a complete wine. These brothers have a truly special farm and are making incredible wine. This wine will drink well for at least another 20 years. Bravo.

I drank this too young but amazing still. Let it age some more it can only become more wonderful.

One of the greats! Took to lunch for a wine buddy who loves Cali Cabs. Did not disappoint even though it should not be opened for several more years. This was so balanced showing purity of fruit that was structured, med bodied with so much concentration & long finish. A wine that can rival the best!
