First time trying this and coming off the back of a dry month.
Impressive for its depth and weight. Nose displays blueberry jam and a hint of sandalwood. Palate is opulent and rich - pretty much stood still in the bottle. Glorious tannins, acidity and that Cali sweet note on the finish put this in the outstanding category. — a month ago
The petrol note is pronounced, yet beautifully integrated. Citrus and tropical tones emerge on the nose, joined by a faint wisp of smoke. The palate has Viognier-like texture, lending weight and shape, while bright, clean-cut acidity is balanced by just a touch of residual sweetness.
It’s puzzling that Napa Valley can produce Riesling of this caliber! — 2 days ago

Sipping Fine Wine
Blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with splashes of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec all SLD estate fruit, deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits, oak and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and currants with tobacco and herb spice. Fine smooth tannins, approachable, long finish ending with fruit, oak, spice and herb mineral character. Nice! — 20 hours ago
