So much depth, mild acidity, very vibrant with hints of lemon peel and chalky minerals. A very special wine that was thoroughly enjoyed. — 9 years ago

THANK YOU COLLEEN! This is a fantastic wine! This wine exhibits notes of plum, blueberries, hints of chocolate, anise and sweet baking spices. The silky smooth tannins and mellow oak really allow this Napa Bordeaux linger forever on your palate. — 9 years ago

This Younteville bomb smacks you with blueberries and blackberry jam up front mixed with Flavors of cassis, sweet baking spices in the middle and finishing extra long with Carmel and mocha Flavors. The silky tannins, French oak and hint on graphite give this wine the perfect structure. This wine is an awesome addition to any cellar and really fun to drink now. Yummy! — 9 years ago

This wine is has bright cherry notes mixed integrated with great minerality and mild floral finishes. However, this is the first 2011 I have tasted with an district salinity. All the green notes in this wine are completely gone allowing the briny minerality to really show through. This Thomas River Brown wine is a great Napa Bordeaux that will only get better with time. — 9 years ago

This big Oakville cab displays blackberries, black currant and toasty oak. The tannins are well rounded and smooth but with more time this wine will be amazing, it's just a little young. Age another 3-5 years. — 9 years ago

A delicious 2012! This wine has an extremely long finish with soft rounded tannins and well balanced oak. The concentrated plum, black cherry, and blackberry Flavors upfront are balanced out well by hint of graphite, vanilla and rhubarb on the finish. — 9 years ago

9.0

This 2013 is first release ever for this well structured younteville cab. This hillside fruit is intense, inky and almost black in color balanced with volcanic minerality. Flavors of black fruit, cacao and lavender are predominant and french oak lays down a hint of vanilla on the palate. This wine needs sometime to breathe but will be spectacular in another 3-5years. Another Thomas River Brown hit. — 9 years ago

And the 2002 to boot. Fantastic. What a nice way to enjoy Vegas. What'd you pair the wine with? Steak?

We enjoyed it with Serrano ham, steak, foie gras and paella. It paired well with all of them.
