Potluck dinner at Butch. A surprisingly balanced complex low alcohol (13ABV) for NAPA Cab. Bright dark fruit notes on nose that carried over to lively lifted palate and good finish. 17 years! — 9 months ago

Cabernet from Napa will never be great, but this is damn good for being a Cabernet from Napa. Sugar is more muted than is the norm for the region. — 4 months ago
