Enjoyed 2023 vintage on October 13, 2026 — a month ago
Dark ruby/ inky in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing age at all.
Strong nose of black currant, blackberries, black plums, black cherries, cedar, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, light earth, herbs, mediterranean spices, black tea and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, light cedar, earth, cherries, light vegetables, tobacco leaf, black tea, herbs, light vanilla, mediterranean spices and dark chocolates.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Elegant and nicely balanced with great complexity.
Needs 2 hours in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
This 17 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley is starting to drink at its peak, although I'm drinking out of a Magnum.
Showing a beautiful nose with lots of complexity. Rich and extracted, elegant and powerful.
Robert Parker 97 points. Wine Enthusiasts 96 points. Wine Spectator 91 points.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot and 4% Malbec. Aged for 24 months in all new French oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
95 points.

I liked the uncharacteristic subtle sweetness from plum and dark fruits. Add a touch of leather and vanilla, soft tannins, and this one was smooth. Good stuff! — 8 months ago
Great white blend. Nice blend of tart and dry, finishes very clean. Would be better in Summer — 9 months ago
Medium-dark reddish-purple color, spicy, brambly black raspberry aromas and flavors, some underlying faint herbal notes show as well, compared to the 2023 opened alongside, younger, fresher, very fruit forward, reminds me of where the 2023 was a few years ago, a perfect pizza wine or midweek Zinfandel, kudos to Morgan, Chris and Cody!! — a month ago
Haven’t had for awhile. So brilliant. Fresh crushed berries, plums, forest, greenery, just on the nose. Palate is similar with some dried rose mixed in. Fresh plums, cherries, so tart, jolly rancher but not quite love this wine. — 3 months ago
71st birthday. The last bottle of Carignane… — 4 months ago

After an hr of air things just came together big fruit, present tannins and a great finish. Everything appeared in harmony and yet there seemed it had more to give. Hold for a few if you can. — a day ago
