100 POINT Cult Wine.
Inky in color with a short purple rim.
Strong nose of blackberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, cola, tobacco, chocolates and black pepper. Very dense.
Full bodied, big and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, espresso, vanilla, spices, chocolates, tobacco, light herbs, light alcohol and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Showing great complexity with a great mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, Rich and extracted.

This 9 year old is still young, but already drinking beautifully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and much better after 3 hours of airtime.
Complex, and easy to drink. Just wonderful. A good sipping wine that doesn't need food, but will also pair very nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. A small production of only 3,000 bottles.
14.6% alcohol by volume.

This was all part of our Sake Day 2025 experience. We only tasted 60ish sakes out of an estimated 450, so a small fraction of what was available. While I attempted to rinse the glass with water and stay hydrated it’s difficult to fairly rate in this environment and I use it solely as a time to try a wide variety and interact with the brands. — 19 days ago
A real winner for the price. Dry, light black pepper, doesn’t get syrupy with a night to breathe. — 3 years ago
One of my new favorites. Smooth yet inexpensive. — a month ago
Terrific!! Dark fruit, even tannins, smooth lingering taste — 6 months ago
Cherry with a hint of spice. Thick aromas (smokey?) With just a hint of floral? Dry and well balanced. — 5 years ago

I’m liking this. Little sweet. Not much of a finish. Light on the palate. No age date on the bottle. — 22 days ago
