Really special wine. Tannins are in check but full-great acidity and, round, ripe dark huckleberry and raspberry fruit. Medium finish that will definitely do well to age a bit but is accessible now. — 6 years ago

This above-the-fog line fruit gives great concentration, structure and intensity that is perfectly tempered by her winemaker. Full mouthfeel and amazing balance. Deep plums, ripe blackberry, cocoa and dark chocolate. Definitely ready to drink today and could easily age for 10-15 years. — 7 years ago

Tannins are intact but have softened. Caramel and dark chocolate hints. Great acidity and balance that is begging for a rack of lamb or chop. Ready to drink now. — 7 years ago

9.1

A bigger effort than the 2014 that will do well with some time. Pencil lead on the nose-dark caramel, chocolate, licorice and raspberry fruit. Tannins are medium to large but kept in check. Very nice Cab-ready to drink now IF you let it open a bit, but should age nicely for 5-10 years. — 7 years ago

A great wine to drink now-butvwill age well for another 8-10 years. Balanced, smooth tannins. with a velvety, luxurious mouthfeel. True to the name-plump, dark tree fruit, dark chocolate and light black licorice and wild sage hints that deliciously linger. — 7 years ago
