Deep ruby color. Aromas of blackberry, leather, Forrest floor and dried herbs. Mellow dark fruit flavors, dark chocolate and cedar finish. — 15 days ago

The nose is fantastic. We made lamb stew and got our Christmas tree today and the nose is really fresh like the tree. There is definite pepper, cedar, fresh herbs, a hint of paprika, some other light spices, and a touch of fruit jam. Palate still has strong tannin but it is much more round than I’d expect on those, but fitting merlot domination from Napa. Tons of herbs, a bit of cigar box, dark fruits some dried apricot and dried flowers. I like this better than the nv9. It’s such an amazing value for Napa Bordeaux style. — 3 months ago

Trademark Ochota crunchy juice, possibly the best I’ve had in a while. Looks weirdly brick, but finely perfumed and graceful drinker. — 7 months ago

2/2021. Nice bold Cab (73%) from Napa Valley. Lingered on the palate and paired well with bone in filet at Hall’s Chophouse Columbia. — 8 days ago

Big aroma of plums and smoke. Pours deep deep inky dark opaque. Initial dryness of serious plums and smokiness with a hint of raspberries. Then a dry dry dry tannic finish. — 7 months ago

This is excellent for the price. Slap a Bordeaux label on this and everyone would suddenly think it’s better. Tons of earth, tea, berries, some forest. After 4 hours of air the Merlot exploded through with cassis, plums, and a bit of baking spice (clove). Just well balanced medium body style Napa. — 3 months ago
