Very solid wine. Definitely taste the chocolate with hints of black fruit. This is a must try. Give it 30 mins to really open up and it goes well with steak.

Truthfully one of the best Napa cabs I have ever tasted. New 2012 vintage is very approachable now - a beguiling mature mellowness underlying it's power.

Just released and so very young but this is going to be a great one. Beautiful, smooth and great structure.

An absolute truck. Some excellent structure on this, which is atypical considering the vintage. A wine to bury in the cellar.

Lovely wine but the famous RP was nuts when he gave it a 96.

Powerful, voluptuous wine. Decanted for eight hours (it needed it), but silky and well balanced after that. Lots of blackberry, cassis, tobacco, dark chocolate, oak, graphite, and a hint of vanilla. Gorgeous bouquet. Long finish.
