Happy to be back on the map. Great lil Napa Cab, oak and smooth tannins, would definitely drink again. Thanks to Stephan for the hook up. Yankees win doesn’t hurt either 😎 — 9 months ago

Sensational wine. Gorgeous nose of tropical fruits like pineapple, guava, mango, exotic melon and more. Really precise and deeply fruited. Plantain as well and some subtle granite in the background that will become more present with air. Juicy, precise and ripe with exquisite balance and purity. Needs air to be fully expressive but balanced, pure and fresh now and tropical but restrained. Will be back. Now with air it has energy and unreal finesse and a really stoney finish that lasts — 22 days ago
