Slightly young if you don’t let it breathe. Nice ripe berries on the palette. — a month ago

Levels above others. This one we decanted and it made a difference. Elements of Rutherford but still not as dusty. Earthy and complex. Liked this. — 8 months ago

A great Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 18 months in French oak, about 50% new, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, cigar box, lavender and spicy scents. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum and currants with cacao, floral and minty notes. Fine dusty tannins, long finish ending with fruit, leather, tobacco, espresso and earthy character on a long finish. Very Nice. Will age. — 3 months ago

9.1

This is superlative Rutherford Cabernet, the real deal. Its perfection is marred only slightly by an odd bitterness to the end finish. Other than that, it hits all of the right notes: light dusty tannins, black cherries with a hint of chocolate, a bit of a tingle in the finish. This is great stuff from a lesser-known small family producer. — a year ago

Blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, and 1% Merlot sourced estate-owned vineyards in Rutherford (30%), South Napa (22%), the St. Helena home ranch (17%), and Stag's Leap District (Barboza Vineyard, 17% and Las Rocas Vineyard, 14%). Just opened this, 14 years in the bottle after a couple of years in the barrel! Still tasting well, young and juicy, should easily last another 14 years in the bottle. Deep Ruby, dark fruits, spice, complex nose. Palate reflects juicy rich berry fruits, well structured harmonious wine. Fine soft rich tannins, long finish ending with fruit, tobacco and earthy tones. Wow! — 3 years ago

PnP. Better than most single Vineyard Cabs from Sequoia Grove. Dark red color. Dark cherries and anise, with subtle baking spices. Medium depth but finish was lacking. Better than expecting. — 5 months ago
