This is drinking beautifully. It was extremely elegant on the front & mid palate and only revealed its Tempranillo character softly on the long set. I would saying this is around its peak and best self. — 3 days ago

Another 2022 that is well made. It is simply not ready. Needs another 7 yrs plus in bottle. Add a point or two then.

2022 Napa Cabernet’s more than less boil down to when did you harvest, before or after the 10 days of intense heat during the harvest window.

This showed nicely. Surprise of the show. Value of the show at $120 from the winery. A Paul Hobbs made wine.

Also if you read my posts, you may know that I am not the biggest fan of Sauvignon Blanc. I did try theirs and it was pretty good. Especially at $32 winery price. It was round, viscous and beautifully balanced with an elegant finish.

I was inspired to open this 2016 Carter Weitz after tasting the 2024 Fait-Main Weitz at the Taste of Oakville. I thought it was the best wine I tasted at the event.

While this 16 Carter was very nice, it was still much bigger than I expected it to be with 8 yrs in bottle. It showed beauty and elegance but still has its brawn. I will wait another 5 yr + to try it again. Believe it’s best will show then. Mike Smith made. — 3 days ago

Nice Cabernet and showing some good development w/ only 5 yrs in bottle. Better things still ahead. Plus a point or two in another 7-8 yrs.

Been a bit since my last but still do not think much of the style of their Cabernet. Especially, given its price point.

First time having this bottling. A decently made 22. It was smooth and elegant but lacked a bit of depth & character that day.

This was good. There were some well made 22’s.

This is a different wine every yr, different cooks & vineyards.
