Dec 13th, 2013Sipped out of plastic cups on Amtrak (PVD - NYC). Delicious and sacrilege. As we watched the rain start to pour from the sky, I said, if we drink enough if this, we’ll see a rainbow. And you know what? We did.

Aug 4th, 2019Was disappointed. May have been past drinkable date. Nose was funky and off. Fruit flavor was not what I hope far in a high end cab. Not as long a finish as I expected
