2nd go round with this wine. Nice nose, delivering this pungent Cab qualities. Matched with filet mignon. Dark cherry, plum, chocolate bar and moderate tannins held their own with the elegant cut of beef.

Deep ruby red in appearance. Classic 2011 and elegant nose with layers of mint, jasmine, herbal, berries and cedar. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Lush palate of eucalyptus, mint, blueberries, and dark spices. Long finish. Drink till 2023.

Open it and wait a day, or decant. Super green but had opened up the following day.

This wine is not for me. It's green bell pepper, and smoky meat juices, all in one... But mostly green. Darn. 2011 vintage.

Top quality - greet balance - love the saturated color, complexed nose, rich mouthfeel, and expansive finish with refined polished tannin- 93 points

Wow. First time in a while I like a cali cab. Smoke, licorice, dark fruit, high alc but nice balance. Reminds me of Harlan. Update: really different 1-2 days later. Not as rich. More subtle. Smoke and licorice now minimal.

Always fun.
Aug 28th, 2016Very enjoyable Sunday supper wine. I like how the sourcing says "a blend of CS from from select Napa Valley vineyards" whatever that means. No violets here @Roman Sukley but I do get green bell peppers.

One of the best cabs I've had in a long time.
