Dec 15th, 2019A dark cherry, plum, blueberry, blackberry, and mocha explosion with a long, satisfying finish with a hint of sweetness . Dark purple color. Opened three hours before serving. A stunning wine.

Dec 26th, 2017Fantastic! Intense, smoky, earthy, and sexy. Spices and cherries to boot. Pop and pour. Paired beautifully with venison. Juicy, creamy, and sweet finish. At its peak!

Oct 19th, 2017I love this wine!! Paired fabulous with my American Wagyu steak. Blackberries, currants, tobacco. The bouquet and finish are to die for. While the Hillside, I'll take the One Point Five and Relentless. I would not hold on to the 2005 much longer. Probably at its peak now, but we have two more bottles in our cellar, so we'll see.

Jun 12th, 2017Fully mature, with rich black fruits, earth, and roasted coffee notes. The tannins are still providing a nice sense of structure, but I wouldn't hold this looking for more upside; I think we're at peak.

Feb 25th, 2017Absolutely stunning. Big fan of shafer and the hillsides and relentless selections. This 05 cab was supsiringky just as delicious and was up there with its big brothers. What a treat this was with the age. Brought the tannins down and refined the taste. Bunch of chocolates and mochas
