In 375. Utterly delicious. I would likely not place this in Napa Valley if it were served blind. Very classified growth Bordeaux like. Cassis, a little herbal, gravel. So balanced and nice. On the palate, intense but with great acidity and zero heaviness. Nice to see this on a wine list (which is great here: an embarrassment of riches of well chosen wines (we’re at l’Albatross Brasserie in Cleveland)) — 4 days ago

+1 hour decant(lots of fine/cloudy sediment). A splendid still inky dark garnet with bricking. On the nose: expressive notes of dark red fruit, currants, smoked meat, tobacco leaf, scorched earth, nutmeg. Taste: silky, layered, rich wine with ripe blackberry/blueberry, earth, baking spice, chocolate, and a long minerally espresso never-ending finish. YUM!! — 3 months ago

A bit of the old house style, not as focused as the recent 2013. Still a reference in balance for CA. — 4 months ago

2023 vintage. Rich and opulent. Medium-heavy body. The wine equivalent of a cup of hot cocoa. 3.20.26. — 5 months ago

This is a very good wine and with more air and better glasses probably moves up a point or two. Went very well with food and is not just a sit and contemplate wine. Not sure it needed a decant but clearly more air. — 2 months ago

So, this had nice fruit but it lacked depth & character. Especially, for a 2019. Most 19 Napa Cabernets or blends have shown me more. Also, would have expected to see more integration of what is there.

On a another note, I took the top right picture of their estate Merlot on 7/11/26. This is the furthest advancement of veraison in early July of Merlot in all my yrs. Or, in July period. This is what happens when you have a very warm tail-end of winter and warm Spring. It was 95 for many days in March while it was technically still Winter. 👀 😳. I have lived in Ca a long time and have never seen 95 in mid March. Climate change is real. It is likely they pick this August 10-15. Do not recall that ever happening either. — a month ago

Big polished and showing a hint of heat. Happily the oak isn’t too pronounced. For me this baby needs time. — 2 months ago

A gift from a friend, this is lovely, with a bit of tobacco on the nose and lively cherry and strawberry flavors on the palate. The finish goes on and on. — 4 months ago

Decent bottle for not the best vintage of 2013. Lacking acid and tannins but a well rounded wine that was very easy to drink. — 5 months ago

Special name, special occasion. Love ‘12 CA Cabs and this one especially. Surreal power for age 14. Still dense fruit, good balance but still more tilt and less finesse. Maybe better in 3-5 years but shows the heft of a well made Napa Cab. — 6 months ago
