Particularly approable little beauty that fights well above its weight. Full body with extra long finish with big black berries and and hints of Indian spice. Magic and great value. If in Toronto, stop by Alobar Yorkville. Great wine list and the owner is hands-on in the qood way. — 2 years ago

Smelled a bit funky right out of the bottle, but with some aeration said funk blew off and exposed a beautiful nose of black fruit, tobacco, mushroom, graphite (almost crude oil-like) and a slight violet aroma. Black cherry/berry fruit flavors with hints of dark chocolate, menthol, soy sauce and dusty earth. Color was quite dark (purple) with just a bit of lightening around the rim. Perfect balance of alcohol, body and tannin (which were quite silky). Powerful, generous and rich, but quite elegant. Aging beautifully! Spectacular! I could not stop drinking this wine. Thank You Petey P. — 4 years ago

Shafer One Point Five Cabernet Sauvignon 2018: Full-bodied. Balanced structure. Rich lush flavors. Black fruits. Vanilla. Tobacco. Oak. Smooth satisfying finish. No introduction needed. This was an amazing bottle of wine and the perfect complement to my bone-in filet mignon during my quick trip to Charlotte, NC. It was complex; it was powerful; it was outstanding and I cannot stop talking/thinking about it. Quintessential Napa, this is a remarkable wine on all fronts! Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago

Pretty simple yet kinda cool label. Has a moon and mountain theme. And the WA vibes are high with that name. It’s a classic pass over the Cascades, and a town on the drive, and some water falls. Color is good. Color of plum flesh from an Elephant Heart. Smells like wet dust in the middle of WA and grilled stone fruits. Flavors are easy and bright. Plenty of fruits, but a decent backbone too. Some anise candies to go with the berry and plum sorbet. Hint of smoke. Maybe rabbit brush. This is a classic WA wine style. And one I approve of highly. Especially for the $5 price point at Grocery Outlet. They just do good wine a great price up north. — 8 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

Beautiful nose of blueberries, black plums, cooked cherries, raisins, dried figs, vanilla, cedar, cola, spices, light must, milk chocolates, tobacco and black pepper.

Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, cherries, cedar, light vanilla, spices, espresso, cola, light herbs, vegetables, earth and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. The label is gone, but the cork shows the name and vintage.

Showing great complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Elegant, fruit forward and rich.

So nice right out of the bottle, and after 15 minutes of airtime, tannins show up and bring good structure to the wine.

This 36 Year old is still drinking very nicely. Didn't last more than a couple of hours, but we didn't need more than that.

I've heard of bottle variation in this vintage. We got lucky this time.

A fantastic wine that I couldn't stop smelling. What a beautiful nose.

Such a great experience tasting this aged wine. Thank you John for sharing.

Every opportunity to open Chave Hermitage is a reminder of what masters of their terroir can achieve. Going in was fairly certain this would outclass the rest of the lineup and take home #wotn honors. It didnt do that but did stop us in our tracks so we could savor this. #summitiv — 4 years ago
