  December 10, 2022 - Dam Good, had it at press, a little dusty, spice, and velvety smooth. Could do it justice with more age. On the nose is the same with dust and intense cassis. Mouthfeel was a little acidic but provided ample amounts of structure and minute tannins. Drink 2027 max.

  September 20, 2021 - 3 days opened and still not fading. This wine has years of bottle age potential. Enjoy in 2030...... keep patient as this wine has plenty of gusto to improve.

  September 17, 2021 - Opened perhaps too young but wow was this great. A very well produced modern Napa Cab. Nose starts with sulpher & charcoal and finishes just slightly floral. In mouth the wine is like a left bank Bordeaux. I get black currants, mulberry, lead pencil, & some oak. Tremendous fruit with a well balanced tannic body. Acidity is present alluding to the long life this puppy has ahead.
  
  CT Folks ..... this is the real deal of a wine and one that rivals the best out there at this price point.

  June 25, 2021 - Far too young. Won’t be touching my other bottles for 5 years or more.
