2015 vintage. Light-medium/medium body. Elegant with just the right mix of primary and secondary characteristics currently. Some earthy tones, some pretty tones. Picked up 3 cases for an affordable ($35 a btl) domestic Cab with a decade of age on it. 2013 effort (not reviewed) had a slightly, off-putting, prunish note on the finish that wouldn’t leave the party so passed on it and went with this instead. 3.11.26. — 5 months ago
N: candyish/ dense
P: coiled. Dense but elegant. Precise but amazing cherry fruit. Spice.

Wow medium yellow and complex nutty earthy ripe orange spicy notes carrying through to bracing acidity and firm texture then long finish. No sign of oxidation from previous notes and giving it higher ratings. — 7 months ago

Sweet-and-sour nose. Silky tenants that cook the tongue. Long delicious finish with only a hint of oak at the very end. I would buy again. — 11 hours ago
An excellent example Cabernet from Rutherford. This is the 2021 vintage and it’s absolutely beautiful. — 3 months ago

Soft, with dark berries and lingering tannins.q# — 5 months ago
Blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre, medium Ruby red color with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice notes, aged for 12 months. On the palate flavors of cherry, red plums and blueberry with notes of black pepper, floral and spice. Fine chewy tannins, long savory finish, ending with fruit, herbs, spice and slight earthy notes. Organic, drinking well, will cellar a bit! — 2 months ago
Had zero expectations for this wine at a party featuring lost bottles from your cellar. It was like a raspberry preserve that you canned 10 years ago and still has the essence of that years growing season. An unexpected joy. — 4 months ago
Délicieux! — 5 months ago
Tons of floral, wild dark berries and spice on the nose. Mid season cherry. Palate is so good. Rich, elegant, deep, gritty and nimble. Some nice amplitude in the mid palate and great tension and red fruits on the finish. Needs mega air so I can only assume score goes higher tomorrow. — 6 months ago
Pretty darn close to old school Napa. — 3 years ago
