Such a stellar project brought forth by Band of Vintners 👊🏻 Comprised of Mark Porembski, Stephane Vivier, Dan Petroski, Cameron Hobel, Barrett Anderson, Brennan Anderson, and Jason Heller, the BoV pulled strings, called in favors, worked their networks, and utilized their collective winemaking experience to produce this outstanding QPR selection. It’s classic Napa through-and-through with black currant, blackberry liqueur, fresh boysenberry, black cherry, damp violets, coffee, fresh leather, tobacco, and a flawless hint of vanilla and baking spices. This soft and silky offering is dynamite; I’m glad I have more on hand and that it can be purchased right down the road from me. This is a win 💪🏻 — 6 years ago
Very young and powerful. Bold aromas of dark berries and cookie dough "heller Topfkuchen" - buttery, sweet and lot of vanilla. On the palate again lots of fruit, vanilla and sweetnes. — 6 years ago
1995 vintage. Tastes like 90s st emilion even though 100% cab. 1995 out of 6.0l. Freaking magical mountain fruit. Less grip than Howell mountain but more tarry fruit. Red cherry, cedar and tobacco. This has aged so well. Typical carmel valley from the 'right side of the mountain' loads of fruit still. So pretty it is insane and downright unbelievable — 7 years ago
Leckerer, heller, trotzdem kräftiger Rotwein. — 4 years ago
Wow this is still young, massive and delicious. It is aging at a seriously glacial pace. In fact tastes like it hasn't moved in 10 years. Dark red almost to the point of blackness with black fruits on the nose. Also cedar, Asian spice and cola. Super dense, masculine and Concentrated. — 7 years ago

Three guys polished this bottle off with a couple cigars in no time. As the great Gabe Rosen says “It stokes the council fires of a gentlemanly soul” and I agree. This was drinking just like it was back in 2005. Really nice — 2 years ago
