This wine is in peak condition combining excellent balance, enough structure to handle further aging and not overwhelm the food and really clean fruit taste. I can't get enough of this wine! Well done — 8 years ago

The 2014 has it all, layer after layer of flavor, a gentle hand with the new oak and 2nd fermentation and, most importantly, spectacular fruit. I kept going back to the bottle to check if this was an older vintage as it just had so much complexity. Well done.

Aging well and the tennis are finagling coming to heal but this is still a big wine even after 19 years of storage. It was worth the wait. — 8 years ago
Still lots of fruit but lacking some of the structure to go another 10 years — 8 years ago
Everything in complete balance. Drink or age. This wine has the structure — 8 years ago
Old school Napa Cab in the Bordeaux style. Built to last and that it has done beautifully — 8 years ago
This wine will reveal more of his true Chard qualities with a few more years in the cellar. The malo fermentation and oak have been handled with true restraint. A very good friendly but carefully crafted high end Chardonnay — 8 years ago

What used to happily pass for a "big" wine in Napa. The wine is remarkably fresh and flavorful for a 23 year old new world Cabernet. While time has tamed the tannins somewhat they are still very much evident in every sip. — 8 years ago
