The last of the 2002 in mags brought from the property. Delicious. I would have thought these would have been saved for their member parties. So, a nice surprise.

2022 vintage. Punching above its weight as it seems to be very affordable for Napa standards. — 14 days ago

Decanted for 40 minutes. Still drinking really young. Probably in its prime another 10-15 years. — 6 days ago

Oaky, rich, full bodied, a bit too much on its own, better if paired with a fatty steak. — 14 days ago

Excellent! Drinking so well right now. Everything has blended and aged together perfectly. Oak and tannins have mellowed and integrated nicely. — a month ago

Amazing older Napa Cabernet, redfruits (currants and cassis), this is amazingly fresh and youthful, structure is there, just a faint green note pops out in the super long finish, great wine (and clearly showing much more youthful than the 1986 Dunn Napa we opened in mid-March)!! Randy killed it in this vintage, planning to open a 1987 Howell Mountain Cabernet in the next few weeks, it should be fantastic!! — 7 days ago

2005 vintage. From magnum. Tasted after 3 hours open. Light-medium body. Drought earth. Coffee grounds. Espresso crema. Dark plum skins. Drinking excellent but like a Napa cab a decade older. And from a magnum!?!? Was expecting a bit more of a delicate fruit presence. Oh well. It was a full moon. 04.11.25. — 2 days ago

Not normally a fan of California Merlot, but this one surprised me. Very drinkable, but with enough complexity. Excellent with a bowl of seafood stew. — 17 days ago
