Beautiful yellow gold color. Subtle hints of citrus and oak on the nose. Lots of lemon curd, lemon tart and spice on the palate. Fantastic acidity that reminds me of a Chablis. Great finish. I really like this wine. — a day ago

Medium ruby color. Aromas of a fresh cut cedar, dried flowers and red fruit. Great flavors of cranberries, raspberries and red plums. Slightly rustic structure with a solid tannic core and great acidity. A long lingering finish of red fruit and cinnamon. A really nice wine. — 2 months ago

Napa Valley Sangiovese? Beautiful dark garnet in color. Hints of blueberries, baking spices and dried flowers on the nose. Given where these grapes come from it is not surprising that there are great flavors of dark plums, blueberries, licorice and mint on the palate. Tannins are very refined and the acidity is very mouthwatering. A hidden gem in Calistoga! — 4 months ago

Beautiful golden straw color. Hints of pears, honey and a little smokiness on the nose. Lots of fruit upfront with tastes of honey, baked apples, and snickerdoodle cookies on the palate. Excellent acidity and a very nice finish that has a little citrus in it. — 11 days ago

Started to not open this tonight because it is very much a baby. This is a very good wine. I did not use the Burgundy glasses tonight so I may have fooled my wife but she was confused about what she was drinking. Medium ruby in color. A somewhat subdued nose of raspberry, baking spices and earthiness. On the palate there are interesting flavors of raspberries, red currants, cinnamon, and a slight hint of mint. Beautifully balanced with great acidity and virtually no tannins. The finish gives you a hint of the marine influence this wine gets from where the vineyard is located. Really jamming on this while “staying home” while we kick this pandemic. Stay safe. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face!!!!🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 2 months ago

Beautiful ruby colored wine. Pronounced notes of dark fruit, cinnamon and cedar. Full bodied flavors of blackberries, dark plums, and spices carried by sleek tannins to a beautiful finish. An excellent wine from the top of Spring Mountain. — 3 months ago

Deep ruby color. Faint hints of red and blue fruit as well as some earthiness on the nose. Maybe even a little herbaceousness. Flavors of dark cherries, blueberries, baking spices and dried herbs Very sleek tannins and nice acidity. ABV of 14.9 but it does not come across as too hot. I actually would like to try this again with a nice piece of grilled meat. — 2 months ago

Dark garnet colored with a slight brick colored meniscus on the edges. Dark fruit, cedar, black olives and leather on the nose. Bold tastes of black plums, figs, cherry cola, and licorice wrapped in silky tannins and perfect acidity. A great finish. Kudos to my friend Steve Reynolds for making such an unbelievably great wine. This wine is not showing any signs of letting up. A true heavyweight Cabernet at a great price. — 3 months ago

Beautiful gold color. A very lush mouthfeel. Citrus and honey notes. Really nice citrus flavors with some nutty overtones that intensify the longer you hold it in your mouth. The acidity is mouthwatering and the finish lingers and evolves with some spicy tastes at the end. Paired very well with grilled snapper with a Spicey Mediterranean sauce. — 3 months ago
