Torn on this one. Obviously a tasty wine albeit at a price point that strikes me as high. Where I struggle with it is it being a facsimile of a wine I already know and love for all its genius, faults and flaws. Why should I pay $15 more for a softer copy of the TRUTH? — 4 years ago

I generally dismiss most everything ‘97 Napa valley because who loves sludge? Gross generalizations aside, seek the misty mountain tops in this year for the feral reward only the most penitent of palates deserves. This wine is alive and it cares not for your faint hearted flattery. It desires action and verve and sexy jazz flutes from the tabletop of the adjacent couple scared out of their minds for this is the kingdom and the power and the glory you sniveling coward of a man. — 4 years ago

Whatever day was today, that’s the day to open this wine. That’s my main take away. You could squirrel this away like some sort of miserly bastard waiting for the winter king to slay your enemies but who the F has time for that shit. Get on with your life, share this divine juice with as many people as possible so long as it’s no more than 3 and change the whole trajectory of your month. — 4 years ago

Just another one of these damnable Oregon bottles I can’t seem to get rid of. To be fair, it tickled my undercarriage nicely but it is getting taxing working my way through palates of sh*t like this. My heart pines for more mediocre fare so I may once again enjoy these like I ought to. -5 points for being as great as I expected it to be. — 4 years ago

Whilst enjoying this very fine new world take on old world claret, if old world claret ignored all but the noblest of grapes and that being Cabernet, a gentleman hobo sat down at my table and gifted me the middle finger. Suffice to say this wine elicits strong emotions, some of which are stronger than others. I rate this wine a yee gods man it’s alive, ITS ALIVE but please done try to quantify its greatness using a paltry 10 numbers. — 4 years ago
