This wants me to drink more Napa merlot — 7 years ago
Smoky and floral. Unique combination. Had it in Yountville 2/26 at the Hestan tasting room. Liked it enough to bring a bottle home. Shared some over dinner of roast pork loin with Dijon glaze. Spectacular! — 7 years ago

Very big and complex; opened almost smokey and with tar - used a by the glass aerator - 30 mins later - wow - big fruit coming through but also smoothing out - still young. Very glad Hestan vineyards recommended I stop by this tasting room. A block or two down from Hestan, almost diagonally across from French Laundry. They are making very good wine here. — 6 years ago
Will def try this in a couple years. Still a little tight right now. *Update*: left it open in the fridge a couple days. Opened up very nicely. This one can age for 10 years easy. — 7 years ago
Bouncy, layered, ethereal, curiously complex Cali bordeaux blend. Sometimes difficult to pick out notes because the structure and flavors are seamless and the tannin/acids are exceptionally balanced. Wonderful tension between richness of fruit/oak and the zippy mineral floral tones. Super long finish. — 6 years ago
Very big, fruit forward cab that is pleasing but just can't compete with the really heavy duty cabs in terms of depth, complexity Etc. Similar to the past vintages. Reminds me of past vintages of Caymus. It will be interesting to see what age does to this wine. I believe TRB is winemaker? — 7 years ago
