9.5

1996 vintage. Tasted most recently on 8.2.24 (9.6) and that bottle was slightly better. Tasted out of magnum in 2023 and that rated as highly as the previous mention (9.6). This had a really nice fill, good cork and was decanted (throwing pretty big sed). Tasted after an hour. Gorgeous and with plenty of power but just barely dialed down from 11 with this bottle. Has this exalted winery made a better bottle of red or white wine in their entire existence? Not in my experiences. 9.29.24. — 20 days ago

Should not have kept it this long - the pain of offsite storage but it’s still very nice. The nose is light/gone, buttery smooth with a light finish. Can’t recall how much acid this had early on in its life but it’s only there lightly now. Not dead but I’m drinking these asap. — 2 months ago

Wish I had more of this. Haven’t found anything I didn’t like with Ceritas’ offerings. — 2 months ago

Nice wine, but a bit less full and interesting than I was hoping. Slightly thin and almost a bit watery. Still nice refinement and a decent finish. — 3 days ago

Wow ! Smooth, deeeep, with a hell of a lot of dark fruits, chocolate … kind of sweet while strong - Love it — 2 months ago

9.3

Deep purple in color with a reddish rim.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward, with a very pretty nose.

Showing black fruits, cedar, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, chocolates and coffee.

Full bodied and soft with nice complexity and balance.

This is a gorgeous 15 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich and elegant. Complex and nicely balanced. Fruit forward and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle and delicious by itself.

Robert Parker 91 points.

Will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.

I've had many different vintages of this Cabernet and it is always delicious with age.

A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot.

14.3% alcohol by volume.

9.0

Orange blossom and the slightest touch of residual sugar to balance out the razor sharp acidity (and balance out my spicy Thai food). This is a light wine but I can almost taste the slate soils and steep slopes.

Whole-cluster grapes and spontaneous fermentations
