The last time I had this was at The French Laundry trying to convince someone to support a nonprofit I love. The subsequent gift was generous but, somehow, underwhelming. This wine is like that. A great vintage, a great vineyard, in great hands, but it had so much more potential. I’m not whining about a 97-point wine; I’m lucky to enjoy it. But it could’ve been even more. — 3 months ago

Englishman Jonathan Maltus (of La Dome) Napa project. Nose shows blackcurrant, plum, cassis, pencil shavings, and clove with a herbaceous undertone. Juicy with medium to full body. Velvety tannins. Stylish, but lacking a bit of depth and complexity. — 2 months ago

This wine is an absolute standout, delivering a rich and full-bodied experience that doesn't disappoint. From the first sip, it bursts with deep berry flavors, offering a perfect balance of ripe fruit and complexity. Hints of tobacco and licorice add depth, while a subtle touch of chocolate rounds out the finish beautifully. The structure is bold yet smooth, making every glass an indulgent experience — 10 days ago
