A big red burgundy. Medium body, chewy medium tannins, high acid, medium alcohol, and a complex, long finish. Dark cherry, wild strawberry, plum, pomegranate, cinnamon, clove, and nice minerality. Definitely age worthy, but drinking well now. A real show stopper. — 3 months ago

2021 vintage. Tasted via Coravin. So the deals definitely afoot in Napa (and elsewhere in CA) currently. This was light-medium/medium body. Not the biggest Cabernet footprint on the delicate palate. But wow...immediately engaging and intimate simultaneously. Having tasted the late 60's, some 70's, most of the 80's, and nearly all of the 90's-2010's vintages of this at some point...actually feel like this is the wine this property has always wanted to make since inception. It's pure, authentic, and pared to the bone. Zen-like. No fluff, no fat. Tasting a Cabernet like this reminds me (yet again) how bastardized things have truly gotten along CA Hwy 29. Picked up two 6-packs and we'll see how it does. Leaner and biting-playfully. So unlike nearly all Napa cabs these days so it comes across as a huge palate/Napa Cab market reset now. Have been able to take or leave BV over the decades compared to Phelps, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, Dunn, Diamond Creek, Mondavi, Mayacamas, Heitz and the rest of the really old guard but blind taste this against any 2020 or newer Napa Cab and/or Bordeaux and see where it slots for you. 8.5.26. — 23 days ago
Lemon, oak, white peach, high acid, medium alcohol, and long finish. — 3 years ago
Regal, powerful, rich, layered with minerality, 2019 Perrieres is fantastic, gaining weight and precision in the decanter and unfurling beautifully over the course of dinner. It’s laser focused, with both richness and clarity and the palate has such an elegant texture. Really lovely bottle. — 3 years ago
Decant for sediment(minimal) and pour. An amazing still deep dark purplish magenta with a little bricking. On the nose: Intoxicating perfumed notes of dark fruit, herbaceous, sandalwood, menthol, forest floor, smokey cedar. Taste: silky, classic, delicious wine with blackberry, dusty earth, charcoal, saline, and a spiced vanilla cedar long finish. YUM!! It's what's you want in a aged Napa cab with time to go. — a month ago

Some serious structure holding up a palate of smoky red fruits, cracked pepper, & violets, & yet drinks very integrated & svelte— the nine years of aging feel pitch perfect for drinking now. Short decant. Paired with a chorizo clam tomato based stew, asparagus & silken tofu salad w sesame dressing, and unfortunately, a Knicks finals loss. — 2 months ago

Deep ruby color. Aromas of dark cherry, plum, eucalyptus and baking spice. Blackberry on the palate, nutmeg/clove, earthy finish. — 6 months ago

2019 vintage. Coming across as more of a Mount Veeder or Spring Mountain imbroglio instead of Howell Mountain. Granted, it was PNP. Wine needed a little more than the venerable three hour tour to right affairs and avoid the shipwreck. I say, Lovey, if we ever get off this island...8.12.26. — 16 days ago
