Lazy weekend with my family, and this product has never fallen short.
A beautiful, zippy/zesty, exotic rendition of SB, displaying white fleshed tropical fruits, a beautiful acid structure and moderate sweetness. I can’t remember what I paid for it, but it was worth every cent. — 3 days ago

Crazy restaurant wine list value @ $190, I think.

Modest decant. Dark red color. Nose contains blackberries, olives, and anise. Unique on the palate as it’s a mix of Napa Cab, CDP, and Rioja. Medium plus depth with big tannins, a silky texture, and high alcohol present. — a month ago

1994 vintage. Nice fill with a slightly shrunken and fully saturated cork. Durand helped plenty in the opening assist. Not decanted and tasted after 1.25 hours open. Hadn’t tasted since the early 2000’s. Definitely dropped all the baby fat. Toffee, coffee and chocolate covered cherries in the nose. Light medium body (thought it would be a touch bigger). Still plenty of focus but slightly less grip than desired. Can it match biggie shizz like Montelena, Dunn, Diamond Creek, BV GDL Reserve, Mondavi Reserve, Araujo, Peter Michael Les Pavots, Mayacamas, etc? No. Is it really really nice? Absolutely. Can hold another 5-6 years at this juncture before boarding the downhill bell curve train. 11.8.24. — 9 months ago

1 hour decant(some fine/cloudy sediment). A splendid deep ruby red color with some bricking. On the nose: Enticing perfumed notes of dark red fruit, worn leather, herbaceous, floral, mint, stewed meat. Taste: silky, layered with depth and length wine.... opulent red fruit, cassis, damp earth, new leather, green bell pepper, and a long finish with beautifully resolved tannins. YUM! — 17 days ago

This was stunning. Layers r us.
Coffee, touch of licorice and dark fruits. On the mid-palate, this is broad-shouldered and expansive. Superb acidity profile. Sandalwood and graphite complete what presents as a clone of a Bdx. Loved it! — a month ago

PJW 6 pack #2 - There’s an ocean of this Napa fruitopia around - perfectly refined yet boring - I switched back to the OTH CDP. Paul says the French bought Eisele from Araujo - I hope they haven’t ruined the cab as well — 8 days ago

Robert Pepi Vine Hill Ranch. Vines at the time 30+years old. If you can find 1981-87. I recommend trying a bottle. Now the hillside portion of this winery are sold to...Tor, Araujo, Lail, ETC. Valley floor is all Cakebread. — 5 years ago
