January 14, 2020....had with dinner at Casa Carbone with my sisters & husbands + Andrew, Crystal & Darcy. Was really really good. Fresh with a little tartness, smooth, medium bodied....clearly a well made wine. One of the owners commented on it saying was one of his favourites. I can see why.
Dec 28, 2021....celebrating Tina's birthday with J & K, C & A. Was once again lovely but has smoothed out some in the past 2 years losing some acidic bite resulting in less of a wow for me but still a great bottle of wine. Drink last one in 2022.

Inglenook Cask Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Napa Valley
California, Usa$89.95
2018-2022* (gift from Crystal)
.....maybe open Sept 2021 for birth of second grandchild, as long as Crystal can enjoy as well.
June 2022....celebrating Crystal's birthday and M's Day. 9 1/2 years ago Crystal had gifted me this wonderful wine for Xmas 2012. A&C had only been dating a while so I was taken aback by her generosity so I always wanted to share it with her. The wait was worth it, superb with bbq steak. 90 minute aeration opened it up beautifully. Strong, bold, full bodied in every regard with a lovely finish. Dark berries galore. Crystal & I shared the whole bottle Fabulous! (93)
