Beautiful perfume bouquet compels you to taste Dark cherry with some wood notes; tannins extend into the finish. Used a Rabbit aerator; would be better with 1-2 hours of decanting

Excellent. Wouldn’t age it any longer, but shouldn’t fall apart in the next year or two.

Nice Sonoma blend, although this bottle in an early to mid downward trajectory. At its best after about 1 hour of air. Would drink now based on this experience.

Mature, quality Napa cab. Has life left but wouldn’t imagine it improving. No reason to hold.

Beautiful wine that we decanted at least a hour. This was a wine with a complexity and elegance. The tannins were present but not over whelming. Good fruit, good wine.

Drank at Blackfish, aromas of dark fruit, spice and oak. Taste was round and smooth throughout with dark red plums, spice and some oak. This is a very smooth and a mouth filling wine.

This wine was full of dark fruits and some spiciness and softening tannins. Lots of body and layers of flavor. Can't wait drink more.

Incredibly smooth and full bodied. Fills your mouth with flavor with only the smallest hint of tannins.
