Still pretty fresh for 10 years. Chunky and chalky. Baked blue fruit, spice is where it’s at. White pepper, black walnut, cinnamon. Coating finish but lacks in complexity like other vintages — a year ago

This cab was awesome. Great notes of berries and really smooth, no strong overtones and sips well. With Napa crew — 2 years ago

2012 vintage. 15.6 ABV but tasted like 14.7. Medium body. Decanted and tasted after 20 minutes and 2 hours. Slight amount of sed but not objectionable if poured into the proceedings. Mostly frontal fruit tasting with raspberry and strawberry flavors coming through predominantly. Relatively unexciting in the early going. Nice...but not exactly this year's girl. Tasting after two hours decanted...body upped to medium/medium-heavy body and a subtle cracked black peppercorn flourish all these promises of satisfaction. As with (nearly) all the wines from this producer, killed off at least a decade too early, likely two. Those disco synthesizers those daily tranquilizers...9.3.25. — 8 months ago

+2 hour decant(little cloudy sediment). An amazing dark ruby red color. On the nose: Intense notes of dark cherry and stewed plums, menthol, little smoked meat, nutmeg, and licorice. Taste: velvety, polished mouthcoating wine with blackberry/dark cherry, crushed stone, toasted wood, cloves, and a long brambly-peppery-licorice finish. YUM! — 7 days ago
