Nice notes on the nose, definitely appreciating Napa, with a little bite on the front end. Smooth and just enough juice on the back end. Might make a hood home cooking wine. . — 8 months ago
Splendid drinking eight years after harvest. $50. It is a cut above some of their other wines, which are also excellent. Beautifully balanced , low tannin, red fruit. — 15 days ago
Absolutely lovely. Bit chewier than the burgundies we had, not fruity at all, definitely some body but it’s subtle. Lovely wine. — 2 months ago

Pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits, spice, floral and citrus adding some lees notes, aged in French oak (30% new) for 14 months. On the palate flavors of apple, pear & apricot with lemon citrus zest, honeysuckle and nutty notes. Smooth, long finish, well balanced with lively acidity, ending with fruit and wet stone mineral character. Nice! Drink now! Pair this with chicken or seafood dish. — 2 years ago
So impressed with this $23 bottle. Drinks like $60, easily. Lovely aroma of soft caramel leads into baked apples on the mid palate. Nice ripe structure and acidity suggest this will continue as is for a few more years, but why wait?
