Probably the platonic ideal of an old school napa cab — a year ago
What a pretty wine. A rather interesting multi vintage red blend from Napa Valley but made more in the old school style. Ruby red core with violet edges. A bright, floral nose begins to unfurl with summer flowers and fresh blackberries. There’s a nice element of cocoa and vanilla as well, along with dried herbs. As it warms in the glass, spice begins to assume a starring role.
Mostly Cabernet Franc to go with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This isn’t a typical ultra ripe, big and bold Napa red blend designed to appease the masses. Though it may do just that because it is so very inviting and pleasing. Smooth tannins and easy going although this is serious stuff. The palate follows the nose closely with lovely red fruit and lively dark fruit. A bit of greenery and a bit more spice. Fun, fun stuff and highly recommended.

A new gem for the inventory. While not as jammy and silky smooth on the front end, this lighter Napa cab has the Cali notes on the nose and the juicy onset that makes this a weekly household addition. Plus, when you get to enjoy with the most beautiful, smart, and best thing God places in your life why wouldn’t you enjoy the fullness of the moment. — 2 months ago

Nose: elegantly vegetal.
Palate: very subtle. Cherry. Vegetal. Not typical. Maybe a disappointment for someone wanting a $150 Napa cab.

A great wine. Food yeah! On its own during a sunny Friday afternoon, yep! It's gently sweet but you won't feel like you're having candy. It's enough that makes it slightly heavy on the tongue and easily enjoyable. If you like Riesling this is fantastic! Go Austria!
Color: Pale light yellow like those office sticky note rip offs. But this pale color signals refreshing like a light wine diamonds, not cheap office supplies.
Aroma: It smells juicy, fresh fruit sweet like a Riesling. It smells like peach, apricot, honey lemonade but not too sweet. Like a refreshing cooler that you would have on the beach. Just enough sweetness to counter a tan but not anywhere near enough you'll be attracting bees or feel like a kid in the candy shop. It smells delicious!
Taste: It tastes like a lighter Riesling. It had some sweetness and weight that clings to the tongue. So I would say its light to medium body. It has a honey lemon and peach taste like when you smell. Yep just enough sweetness to fein off the tang or alcoholic taste but definitely not a sweet wine. — 3 years ago

Bright red fruit, strangely effervescent, easy drinking, a winner — a month ago
