This. Is. A. Beast. Concentrated, complex, punch in the mouth. Drinking very young for my taste, absolutely drinkable if you’re looking for power over finesse. — 7 years ago

Absolutely singing, currant, black cherry, tobacco. Can lay down for much longer; ready to drink for those who prefer their Napa cabs on the young side of maturity. — 7 years ago

Single vineyard this particular vintage, an ode to The Paris Tasting. Drinking very well right now, a couple more years may fully round this elegant can out. — 9 years ago

Out of magnum, fruit still winning, tannin persistent, beautifully spicy finish. ‘07 Napa Cabs are drinking beautifully for those who like adolescent wines. Phenomenal vintage, excellent wine making, young for my tastes but fruit seeks can absolutely drink now. — 7 years ago

Still plenty of life here. Tart cherries battling for dominance, but the mushrooms are winning. Terrific balance. — 8 years ago

Value is a relative term. Considering what Abreu's single vineyards go for this is a steal! Because of 2011's negative perception the wholesale price went down. This is an amazingly luxurious bottle of wine for a third of what it could cost. Drinking well now, definitely age worthy. — 9 years ago

Fruit is still present but definitely showing maturity. Tannin very well integrated, drier towards the finish. Drinking great now, can definitely lay down longer if you prefer a more mature wine. — 7 years ago
