Solid bottle of Napa Red Blend, dark and a bit jammy, black fruit aromas and flavors, a touch high in alcohol but blew off pretty quickly. Not overly oaked which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, enjoyable with our steaks tonight. — 19 days ago

Another gem from my daughter’s birth year case. Not sure they were thinking what this wine would be in 24 years, but I would tell them it held up amazingly well. The acidity was definitely in tact, plenty of sour cherry tartness, very earthy nose typical for the variety, my guess is it was blended with a little cab to give it some structure. How nice to see Napa Valley Sangiovese make such a journey. — 4 months ago

This wine really delivered. Straw color, softer mousse, toasty aroma and some citrus. Really great weight, full and pretty rich. Great with our oysters and caviar. — 4 months ago

What an interesting wine, caramel color with aromas of peach pit and wildflower honey, really complex, peach marmalade flavor, pretty delicious. The score would be much higher if not so oxidized. Real treat to taste it. — 2 months ago

In perfect shape and at a very good place in its development, this wine was pure silk on the palate, a touch of green in the nose but otherwise outstanding with our Standing Rib Roast. — 4 months ago

Lovely Chardonnay, in magnum, great balance, super texture, light handed with the oak and well integrated, perfect weight, could have gone for several more years. — 4 months ago
