1 hour decant(lots of chunky/fine sediment). A magnificent dark magenta color. On the nose: Compelling notes of dark plum/cherry, musky forest floor, minty chocolate, mushrooms, floral. Taste: explosion of silky wonderfulness with jammy dark fruit, currants, crushed gravel, sweet spice, coffee mocha, and a mineral-graphite longgg finish. YUM! Beautiful with time to go. Had to wade back into the 07 vintage and this worked. — 3 years ago

Great wine! Aromatic, light and airy. Citrus and melon notes. — 4 years ago
A young Napa cab with a lot of promise. Darker fruit and oak notes. Needs more aging for tertiary development. — a month ago
Amazing! Tons of fruit, great mouth feel, Balanced acidity with mild tannins. Wonderful. Will buy more! Tasted against the Jasper James Psao Robles 2022 cab, which was also great, but not up to the John Wade…. — 2 months ago
Sipping Fine Wine
Deep Ruby with black fruit aromas, vanilla, earthy herb scents and soft spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry, with licorice, tobacco and cacao on fine tannins, nice balance. Medium+ finish ending with fruit and earthy oak, very nice and has some room for cellaring. — 2 days ago
