| COMMENTS: |
Decanted two bottles of the 2001 La Jota Anniversary Cab for a good 3 hours. Much more open than my last tasting. More structure, more tannin (perhaps the last bottle was consumed too close to cellar temp?). Enjoyed this bottle a bit more score wise. It had deep blackberry flavors with scratchy tannins. Let this rest for many more years.

| COMMENTS: |
Although I should not have tapped into the 2001 La Jota's this soon, I was eager to taste this highly touted vintage from a winery that used to produce some of Napa's top wines. Since its sale by Bill and Joan Smith to Markham Vineyards, however, I have not been particularly impressed with the wines. Less tannic than I expected for a Howell Mountain cab, this bottle seems to possess potential, but came up short on its overall balance. Deep, dark and brooding... but slightly disjointed at this stage.
