Very very good. Still one of the best single vineyards from Sequoia grove. 2015 is drinking nice with the aerator. Great nose.

We like this cab, big flavor, cedar and a nice soft tannin finish. A 2016, opened in 9/19.

Dark purple in color. Very hot on the nose with big shoe leather aromas. Wine lacks fruit, but it might be a tad young. Minimal decanting did soften things up. Little to no finish. Pretty much your run of the mill $25 Napa Cab.

Oct 23rd, 2017Part of a wine tasting I held. This came in 2nd last, but it was up against some good competition. I was surprised it didn't show better, but probably could use more age or air.
