Wonderful wine. Purchased at the vineyard in 2021 during Passport to Dry Creek weekend. Consumed I the spring of 2025. Would buy as much of this as I could, if still available! — 2 months ago

Pretty darn good. Drank it a little too fast…should have let it get some air for an hour or so first.
Would buy again ~$100/bottle

Very good.
Sommelier friend recommended this for a holiday weekend - a bit jammy, dark red with great fruit, but not “fruity” would drink this regularly :)

Really god stuff, just a little off our typical path of Cabs, but the Blend is excellent.
Next time we see this, we’re buying it all!
