So probably peaked a year or two ago. But still in a great place. Chalk. Red fruit.

Not quite DOA-fruit still pretty vibrant-but this is a 1 stop pony, with not a very interesting pony. Imagine that in its day was a bruiser of a wine. Not my fave profile to begin with so perhaps unfair.

Great expression of darker Napa fruit. Rich barrel notes.

This wine always amazes me. It has held up way better than many wines more expensive than it. And it still has more life left. Nice balance, not too over the top, with decent fruit and good finish.

Just amazing. A great nose to it. So much to ponder. And great drinking with all to expect form a great winemaker. Always one of my favorites when paired against other well known higher rated CA cabs. And this still has years to go. Amazing.
