2021 vintage. Decanted and passed, with high air, between two decanters four times. If it were Caymus, woulda used a blender and forgotten. Last tasted 8.5.26 (9.6) Older (60's, 70's and early 80's) vintages more fruit driven which is quite the surprise in the current Napa Cab climate. Arguably the best GDL Private Reserve this estate has ever made. That goes back six decades. Supple, velveteen entry without the temptations of appearing over-extended. Structured mid-palate. A seeker's wandering, yet undeniably substantial finish. Taste it and you tell me. — 20 days ago

Nice white Bandol but I miss some character. Maybe some more cellartime? — 2 months ago

vintage 2018 | Laurel, brushwood and strict tannins. American oak. High bitters. I found this wine very far developed for a wine from 8 years old with a slight oxydative touch. — 4 months ago

I’m not real big fan of SB, this one though was different. The lees aging make me think of a flat champagne. Interesting right now and would love to try this with a few yrs of age to see what other nuance it has to offer. — 5 months ago

Noticeably deep colour , deeper than all the others , medium deep ruby quite thin ruby rim . Quite herbal and deep on the nose , with darker fruit profile . Blackberry , dark plum, dark cherry , earthy herbal touches. On the palate this is quite dense and rich with dark cherry , kirsch, blackberry , and a richer frame . Quite gritty but ripe tannins , with balanced acidity . Decent lightly chalky cherry , blackberry, herbal tinged finish . Very different from all others , darker and richer , riper . However , still well made , though not that charming or , dare I say it ‘Burgundian’ , probably as expected . I believe this also needs some time , come back in 5 years and drink over the next 10 or so. — 3 months ago

100% Sauvignon Blanc. Light golden color. Aromas of ripe orchard fruit, citrus, fresh herbs, wet stones and hay. Flavors of golden delicious apple, lemon, peach, and lychee fruit with additional notes of mint, honey and chalk. Abundant mineral notes on the and lingering finish. Mouth watering acidity. Beautifully balanced and quite complex. Crisp, vibrant and elegant. — a month ago
