1.5+hr decant. Dark red color with hints of rust and purple. Lovely nose of dark cherries and cedar, which is the highlight. Great texture but restrained and thinning. Starts out like a nice Bordeaux then turns into a classic Napa Cab then becomes very average mid palate. So much promise but doesn’t deliver. Needs more depth and flavor. As the wife said, very nice but probably a ~$50 bottle not an ~$85+.

Jun 18th, 2022Dark red color with purple hues. Fruit forward nose with wood and chocolate elements. Lovely texture. Medium plus depth. Dark fruit but sweeter than I prefer for a Cab. Has some uniqueness to it which I always enjoy seeing.

Very fruit forward, didn’t see the tannins. Nice but needs more time.

This is not your typical 2012 Rutherford cab. It is lighter in color but still full of depth. It's Bordeauxish with full black fruit Flavors with a hint of earth and chocolate. The Silky tannins and medium body really make this garnet colored cab approachable now. Big up front with a lingering finish.

Oct 16th, 2015Great nose and velvety on the tongue, which makes this a lovely wine. Could be bolder and deeper, but nice fruit and solid, lingering finish.

Well balanced with expressive ref and dark fruit aromas and notes of boysenberry and chocolate. Silky tannins
