Solid and definitely needed the aerator but aging well. Will be excellent in a few years. Deep and earthy. Lots of dark fruit. — 4 years ago

DELICIOUS.
I think this was the one with all the sediment, though. — 4 years ago
Very fruity light cab. Love it! P38 — 5 years ago
Good staple. 2014 is drinking well. A little heavier. Maybe zin or Syrah like and heavy cab. — 6 years ago
Sangiovese. Easy drinking, slightly peppery — 7 years ago
Nose has powder sugar dusted lemon torte, wet slate, dry lemon zest, powdered sugar and lime peel.
Palate has beautiful lemon curd pastry, lime zest, under-baked pastry dough, ethereal sugar from angels lightly dancing but never touching the ground, medium acidity in perfect balance.
Might be the best Feinherb ever...? I cannot wait for this to evolve in the coming days.
Decanted 4H at time of notes, more time appreciated; notes to be updated on day three.
144 Hour Update: Nose has orange zest, lime zest, powder sugar dusted flakey pastry, peach skin and dehydrated orange. Palate has lime peel, lemon flesh, ripe nectarine, confectioners sugar, nectarine flesh and faint moist sandstone notes. A beautiful wine, but now score improvement.

Deep and earthy. Drinking ok but could still use more time. — 4 years ago
Grassy, citric, grapefruit-noted sauvignon from a consistently great vineyard. — 5 years ago
Great bang for my buck! Probably overly-fruity for some meals, but for the price, this can't be beat. — 5 years ago
Great furlough wine. — 6 years ago
String and earthy with dark fruit. The tonella is better of course but this is still good. Drinking young. — 3 years ago
Dark yellow on color. Definitely mellowed more but oaky. Interesting to try a later vintage. This was ok but may have been a bit too aged. — 3 years ago
Nose: dusty. Cedar. Light leather. Boysenberry, cherries. Plum. Pencil shavings. Taste: rich plum, Smokey oak, cedar, dark chocolate, coffee finish. Some herbaceous notes. Cherry. Smooth but rich. Med+ body, medium acid and tannin, dry. Me likey. — 4 years ago
Still a great Merlot but lots of dark fruit and feels alcoholic/hangover inducing. Their wines recently need to sit much longer than in the past. — 4 years ago
Smooth and balanced. Lack berry with some spice — 5 years ago
A stunner. Opened with that rustic cab smell. Not sure what lies beneath that initial nose. And then just pure explosive goodness in the glass. Black fruit, swirling with brown fruit in every sip. Lingering finish made for a wonderful moment or two. — 6 years ago
Crisp with notes of honey — 7 years ago

PnP. Better than most single Vineyard Cabs from Sequoia Grove. Dark red color. Dark cherries and anise, with subtle baking spices. Medium depth but finish was lacking. Better than expecting. — 10 months ago
