2021 opened April 2025. This is a luscious wine, but I can’t help but nitpick. All the individual components are very one-dimensional. That’s not to say they all don’t work together well to make a great wine – but there’s nothing challenging on the palate about this vintage. If you like the monolithic cabs produced by Opus 1, then this wine is for you. However, I’d prefer a little more quirky individualism in my tipples.

The nose is overwhelmingly tobacco. The front is heavy with red fruit. The tannic structure is heavy, smooth, and silky. It has a medium long finish with hints of volcanic minerals. This wine is so perfect that it’s boring. If you like perfect perfection then up my score to 100 points, but I like the little challenges that quirky vintages give me. — 6 months ago

Wonderful perfume on the nose, great cherry notes on the front and mid palate, a touch of spice near the end. Smooth, resolved and elegant. — 5 years ago

2020- very smooth finish, slight pepper hint on the front. After airing it is quite smooth and a beautiful treat. — 2 years ago

This bottle was a big tease. Intoxicating nose and delightful on the front palette. Gets your mind thinking of great things for the finish like depth, complexity layers etc. It never comes. The finish is completely lacking. Such a tease. — 4 years ago

2000 has really come in nicely. Tobacco and leather up front, with mellow oak, carbon, and earth, complimented by allspice, cinnamon, and vanilla, with hints of wild blackberry. Silky smooth from start to finish. Really enjoyed. Celebrating indigo with Garett, Josie, and Tara. — 3 years ago

Up front tannins and loooong medium fruit with pronounced cedar and plumb. Very smooth and mellow all the way to the end. I venture to say it would be better with a few more years in the bottle, but we couldn’t take it anymore. — 5 years ago
