Robe dense. Un nez de violette, épices et des fruits rouges. Une bouche sur des épices (poivre - syrah) et des fruits rouges. L'alcool se fait trop sentir et ça brûle la gorge. C'est bon mais ça pourrait être meilleur si l'alcool ne piquant pas autant. — 4 months ago

2021 vintage. So tasted alongside sister property Cade (and Plumpjack) Howell Mountain Cab. If I weren't so familiar with the Cade HM, woulda sworn this was mountain fruit. This is the leanest, dirtiest SLD effort I've ever had spanning a multiplicity of SLD producers since the 1986 vintage. It's got the underlying structure of Stags Leap District but none of the top layer of richness. It all got scraped off and you are just left with the steak-no sizzle. Comes courtesy of the old old Steltzer property (hadn't heard that winery name in decades and it was the durtiest in SLD!) and the new powers that be turbo-charged it and turned shizz up to 11. Fascinating and phenomenal. Light-medium body and has the color but packs an unexpected Barolo-styled punch. Not your average SLD bear. Watch out for Mr. Ringer...err...Ranger. 10.30.24. — 24 days ago

2021 vintage. A continuation of the Cade HM style. Everything in its right place. Everything in its right place. Light-medium body. That centralized light-saber of pure fruit/tannins balance throughout...so good. One of the few Napa cabs you can absolutely enjoy that doesn't enslave you or your palate to continued heavy wines should you desire to "backtrack" to pinot noir. 10.30.24. — 24 days ago
