Structure? Yes. Not overly tannic. Blackberry? Okay, may I say cherry? Sweet at the end, like an adolescent kiss? The sun was so perfect. Beautiful balance. Is that oak? Or just the complex Napa soil, so rich, so perfect. (May I say soul instead of soil?) 2016 on March 27, 2020. — 5 years ago

This wine fit well with my brown pasta sauce. Paul Weiss’ description is spot on. David Akiyoshi is a wonderful winemaker. Excellent value at $22.00. — 5 years ago

Excellent Bordeaux style blend. Black cherry. Subtle and mature. Perfect with pasta or chicken. Very underrated. — 5 years ago

2016 on Nov. 24, 2019. Will open up nicely to well balanced tannins and old barrel woody spice. Let it breath. — 5 years ago

8.9 to 9.0. Excellent value. Fruity with nice finish. If you’re a Frenchie like me you’ll love being transported back. — 5 years ago
