Quite plush if not a little too ripe As high as the abv is it is really well balanced as I didn’t detect any heat. — 11 days ago

We did a side by side Comparison of 2011 Robert Biale Thomann Station PS vs 2012 Behrens Family Kick Ranch PS. Couldn’t go wrong with either, — 3 years ago

From the damned vintage comes another good wine. Is this as full-bodied as the 09 or 10? No. Notes on this wine are black cherry, rhubarb, mint on the nose and just about the same on the entry. Gains a floral note in the middle. Finishes with black cherry and white flowers. Rounded character but acidity is quite present. Tannin are a bit sweet, slightly astringent but doesn't really take away from this wine. If anything it adds a bit of mystery. This was a Coravin glass and a half today, with the remainder likely going down tomorrow. I'd say this is probably just about the time to start drinking on these if you have a few. — 4 years ago

Drinking well. Decanted for 6 hours. The alcohol is still coming through. Still has good fruit. — 6 years ago

The Visitor is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Moulds Family Vineyard in Oak Knoll; 34% Lagrein from the Blossom Creek Vineyard in Calistoga and 16% Petit Verdot from the Kidd Ranch Vineyard in St. Helena. Made only one time (2013).

I didn’t even know Lagrein existed in Napa. Last I had that varietal, it was from Alto Adige. Deep purple in the glass (thanks petit Verdot). Blackberries, boysenberry, mocha, dark cocoa aromatics with dark floral/potpourri too. Blind, I would have guessed this had a good bit of Malbec…so much juicy/fresh squeezed and slightly tart black/red berry fruit, almost jam/compote like, alongside forest floor, and high percentage dark chocolate. Shocking amount of tannin, even after being open for almost 5hrs. Best at cellar temp. I’d say open now to enjoy as I’m not sure it gets better in regards to fruit presence. — 8 months ago

I used to think there was no such thing as too big, tannic, and hit you over the head of a wine so long as it was well done. Well, this is very well done and excels at what it seems to be aiming for. But at this point in my evolving taste, it’ seems on the knife’s edge of being very enjoyable or too much. It comes close to drinking like 100% petite sirah. — 2 years ago
