Drinking the 2008 in 2018. Deep dark rich color with excellent clarity. Dense rich nose. Raspberry, cherry and pepper. Very BIG flavor, rich with cassis, raspberry and earth. Low tannins and a balanced smooth finish. Wonderful wine! — 6 years ago

Beautiful cab. Aged gracefully but still has the structure and complexity representing a big Napa Cab. Smooth and a long finish. Delicious. — 6 years ago
Forged Vines is a Cabernet created by Stambor, Hansen and Durling, winemakers at Napa Valleys most iconic and renowned vineyards: Beaulieu, Sterling and Hewitt. They created something new by blending wines from their luxury tiers of wine. The blend exceeded expectations. Dark cherry and blackberry fruit with some espresso, anise tones. Very full juicy feel.
The 2013 season was a warm, dry spring with early bud break and ideal flowering and fruit set. Consistent temperatures resulted in healthy vines and an early and condensed harvest. — 7 years ago
