Solid as always. Higher alcohol and wood than other bottles. Might need a decant as I PnP’d. Started off great with dark cherries and depth, but became astringent over time. — 6 days ago

Not their best vintage, but still one of the better Cabernets that I’ve had (behind their better vintages). — 3 months ago

Bramble on the nose. Betting this is whole cluster since you definitely taste some greenness. Long full mouth finish but it’s a little on the sharper side for me versus the CA plush. — 4 months ago

1hr+ decant. Super complex wine. Somewhere between Napa and Bordeaux. I’m at a loss for words on how to describe other than that it was awesome! Drinking beautifully now. — 2 months ago

Deep ruby color. Aromas of huckleberry, plum and fig. Licorice, coffee and blackberry on the palate. Very tasty!

64% Merlot, 22% Cab, 7% Cab Franc and 7% Petit Verdot.

2021 opened April 2025. This is a luscious wine, but I can’t help but nitpick. All the individual components are very one-dimensional. That’s not to say they all don’t work together well to make a great wine – but there’s nothing challenging on the palate about this vintage. If you like the monolithic cabs produced by Opus 1, then this wine is for you. However, I’d prefer a little more quirky individualism in my tipples.

The nose is overwhelmingly tobacco. The front is heavy with red fruit. The tannic structure is heavy, smooth, and silky. It has a medium long finish with hints of volcanic minerals. This wine is so perfect that it’s boring. If you like perfect perfection then up my score to 100 points, but I like the little challenges that quirky vintages give me. — 2 months ago
