December 23, 2022 - So I bought a cellar; 11/12/2022-12/31/2030: Opened this one after getting all the wines in the new wine closet, that came with the wines. The CT notes indicated that this one was still in a good spot. I agree, though it is at the end of a good spot. Upon opening, there was an ever-so-slight cardboard smell/flavor, that blew off quickly, revealing stewed red fruits. The color was still there, with only slight bricking. I loved the 13.5% alcohol, was nice to have a CA cab blend at that level. The red fruit actually opened up with air, and the wine seemed a bit younger about 30-45 minutes after opening, and held there for about 2 hours. Hours 3 and 4 though, was too much air, and became more cooked/stewed fruits. Lots of sediment, and did not decant. Good wine and fun experience. This one was not my wife's cup of tea.

October 24, 2021 - Quite an aromatic nose, lots of currant and raspberry. Hints of violets and chicory. Smells pretty serious. Full bodied, and firmly structured with tannins that have settled into a nice place. There is a very positive marriage between the fruit and oak that builds into a lingering finish of coffee and raspberry chocolate torte. Tasty.
