Very smooth tannins. — 4 months ago
Drinking well now. Still nice to aerate for a bit. Plum, dark red ripe fruit. I prefer the 575 OVX but this is nice. — 4 years ago
The nose showcasing the perfectly ripen fruits with a richness and freshness. More cherry notes than dark plum that one would expect from Napa. Intense flavors glides over the palate effortlessly like an Olympic ice skater. Silky tannins lead to long soaring finish.
A young elegant beauty.

Worth the wait for the 2009. Dried fig, black cherry, anise,tobacco, violets, dust.. Tannins softened and just a little acid to keep things fresh. — 11 days ago

1hr+ decant. Needed it. Deep dark red color w/purple rims. Nose had baking spices, anise, and subtle vanilla. Similar on the palate with dark fruit and a great texture. Classic Napa with Old World elements. Deep wine with solid finish. I love the G Major but this was really good too. Many years left. — 8 months ago

Short decant and definitely drinking young. Needs age as it was up to par with other bottles/vintages. Tannins definitely present and fruit was restrained. Still great though! — 19 days ago
