Tilting more towards a sweeter style on the palate. Light and zippy mouthfeel with nice volume. I really enjoyed this as my first drink after a dry January. We are certainly reducing our alcohol consumption going forward. Life is better without it.

Really enjoyed this. Much more in the white burg style. Steely, piercing and focused. I’d love to take another look at these 5 years from now. I bet this will continue to improve. — a month ago

Soft and rotund. Very little acidity to talk about. Surprisingly mediocre. — a month ago

Exceptional wine from the Modus winemaker (Jason Moore). The best we’ve had from this producer. I’m going back to the well. — a month ago

I showed this wine some respect today. First I carefully decanted it, as I rarely do. The nose displayed spice box with cardamon, cloves and a hint of cedar. The palate was powerful and dense. Loads of mature blueberries and black fruits. Tannins are bolt upright. Acidity is perfectly poised. Finishes sweet and with texture. For a second wine, it’s a crime. Has another 5-10 years of runway ahead of it. This is a serious wine. — a month ago

Our favorite Napa cab in the $70 price bracket. Nose displays cherries and coffee. Palate is so well balanced with sage, sandalwood and soft brown sugar. Finish extends and expands. Youthful and energetic.

So impressed with this $23 bottle. Drinks like $60, easily. Lovely aroma of soft caramel leads into baked apples on the mid palate. Nice ripe structure and acidity suggest this will continue as is for a few more years, but why wait? — a month ago

Xmas Eve quaff. Delicate and subtle presentation on the nose and palate. Restrained in every way. Notes of citrus and beeswax combine on the nose with a light honied sweetness on the mid palate. Acidity is delicate. Overall, a nice presentation but nothing to get excited about either — a month ago
