2012. I'm a long time fan but this is perhaps the best vintage of the signature I've had. Fabulous nose. Pure red and black fruits and perfectly integrated oak. The darker fruits are prevalent on the lengthy finish. — 10 years ago

2009- Lovely crushed berry nose with layers of flavors coming in waves-dark fruits, cedars spice with ample though soft tannins. What a pleasure. — 10 years ago

2012- dark blackberries with some chocolate notes and spice from the oak. At 14.9, it's got some stuffing but the tannins are relatively soft for such a young cab. Delicious — 10 years ago

Definitely a product of the 11 vintage. Showing some nice dark fruit but not coming together that well. A bit more acid than my taste. Like to see how this comes together in a few years — 10 years ago

I have to admit that I like this big, ripe style- plenty of tropical notes, oak and some butter. Nice wine — 10 years ago

Zesty citrus is tempered by semillon and a touch of oak. This is my kind of Sauv Blanc. — 10 years ago

2013- The Corley family never seems to disappoint. Super solid again. Nice tree fruit with a bit of a mineral note. Nicely balanced with well integrated oak. Some may wish for a little more acidity but this hits just the right notes for me. — 10 years ago

Didn't notice but the app states Pinot but it's definitely Chardonnay
