Jul 5th, 2020An impressive amount of still vibrant fruit here. Almost resolved but still entact tannic backbone support a flavor profile of medium intensity red fruit, sage, charred earth and Eucalyptus.

Dec 16th, 2018Medium ruby garnet , medium terracotta rim . Quite ripe plum , dried blackberry , dried spice , earth , tobacco . On the palate lovely cassis , dried plum, earthy blackberry and tobacco nuance , liquorice touches . Good definition and balancing acidity, fine , slightly gritty but ripe tannins , good length . Fully mature this is still showing well , drink now and over the next 3-5 years .

Feb 22nd, 2020Fill into the neck and beautiful cork. Not as compelling asa 1978 or 1984 a couple of years back, but still a marvelous example of aged Cali Cab. Remarkable to me that there were about 3,000 cases each year. Hard to pick a winner in the first Cab flight. All showed well for their age - a really fun flight.

Dec 16th, 2018Much lighter body than WA cab sauv. I am used to. Lots of eucalyptus notes in the nose and flavor. Apparently it used to be next to a eucalyptus grove.
