  November 25, 2021 - This wine is quite good to my taste. Smooth and robust without being overpowering. Too bad it is gone!

  May 13, 2021 - I hate to write such a consensus review, but indeed this wine is deserving of a "good not great" score. The color shows nicely, still a fairly dark purple/red with nice viscosity. Not surprisingly, on the nose you get all fruit: dark red, blueberry compote, blackberry. Tannins are fairly light but present, which give the wine a bit of backbone. But the story ends there. The palate is far less complex than the nose suggest, with some decent beam of fruit enveloped by a lot of oak being the dominant feature. Very little secondary elements going on here, leading me to believe this wine is what it is - good fruit selection but fairly simple and it won't necessarily surprise to the upside though it will be very reliable for this genre. Drank over ~two hours with consistent notes.

  December 30, 2020 - Full bodied. Sweet red fruit, low acidity, mellowed tannins that are still present. Drinking fine, but not super interesting.

  August 3, 2020 - Found this in the back of the cellar. The cork fell apart but wine was ok. Initial taste on opening was a little rough. Old Barnyard And a little musty on the nose. Certainly old Bordeaux style on the first taste. Will surely get better after being open for awhile. Not bad, especially since we purchased at great price of $40 in 2010. Have two left and will share with buddy that loves older wines.

  August 24, 2018 - At it's peak now. Dark brick red with a clear meniscus almost to the rim. Lovely aged cab color. Not a powerful nose-
  It smells like black currant (cassis), plum, espresso, cedar and game. More rustic than most Napa cabs. It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis), dust, cinnamon, tobacco and a nice cedar box quality that adds to the fruit. AThe body is medium/full. The wine has coarse texture almost rustic for a Napa cab with high acidity and a short but balanced finish.
