89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Petite Verdot. Dark ruby color with some purple highlights and a thin garnet rim. Aromas of black fruit, cocoa, cola and a very noticeable hint of mint. The full bodied palate features black berry/plum/cherry fruit, tobacco, dark chocolate, dried herbs, baking spices and black pepper. Long and lingering earthy finish features a touch of vanilla. Big structure, savory and well softened tannins. Aging nicely. Thanks for the bottle, John P. — 3 days ago

Really a lovely Bordeaux style blend from Sullivan in Napa. I am biased as I spent a summer working there. Quite seamless, some nice cassis, has really come into balance. Bit of that very nice menthol laced acid refreshing note on the finish. Delicious and wonderful pairing with steaks on the grill. — 8 months ago

Tasted this upon its release @ the winery. It benefited from a few years of cellaring. Happy I have a few more. — 4 years ago

This is another terrific Napa red from the problematic 2020 vintage.

Purple in color with a short purple rim.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

This Napa Merlot is still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable, even by itself.

Nicely balanced and delicious. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

A blend of 68% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 20 months in (55% New) French Oak barrels.

Surprisingly delicious at 10 years of age. Wonderful ripe Napa jelly fruit. Surprisingly good acid, the tannins have receded but still provide some structure. Rarely drink Napa merlot but this is compelling. Certainly somewhat biased by the fact that I worked on this vineyard in 2011. Nice pairing with skirt steak on the grill. — 3 years ago

A charming left bank blend with a high percentage of CF for 15’. Blueberry, cassis, espresso, dried herbs, and lavender. Hint of crushed rocks too. Medium to full body. A harmonious palate with round gentle acidity, lush texture, and grainy yet polished firm elegant tannins. Lingering lightly candied finish.
Finesse and classy, yet so approachable. — 4 years ago

This is a blend of syrah, cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc.
The wine is red but completely translucid like a Tavel wine. The nose is funky with dome discreet barnyard notes, a typical herbaceous note that I associate with Sauvignon Blanc, some minerally notes like crushed rocks, pomegranate and strawberry too. Very interesting!
The palate shows a good acid drive, pomegranate and strawberry notes all along, some width, a soft and gentle mouthfeel that changes in the rear with some lively tannins that create another layer over a rather long and fruity finish with pomegranate and strawberry. It's fresh and fun, it's super easy going. Textbook glouglou wine. Enjoyed slightly chilled. 12,5% abv. — 6 months ago
