The bottle is heavy!
Distinctively Napa with Bordeaux sensibility. Dark cherry, cassis, blackcurrant, cedar, and a touch of tobacco unfold on the nose. The palate is beautifully structured palate with polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and concentrated dark fruit. Composed and well balanced with long candied finish.
The winery is the first customer of the Stagecoach vineyard and The Oracle used grapes from the vineyard exclusively until the 2015 vintage. — 2 months ago

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Alexander Valley. Rich and fruit forward, elegant and nicely balanced.
Still young, but already enjoyable, even by itself. Needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

The nose reminds me of a Napa Cabernet. Complex and entertaining.
A great sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.

I opened this 2015 after the 16’ Branaire-Ducru.
The fruits are riper and slightly jammy with plum, blueberry, and blackcurrant, but it’s the savory expression that really sets it apart. Rich palate without excessive weight with lively acidity and fresh herbal lift. Kong savory finishes. Beautiful Bordeaux blend with Napa mountain fruits. — a day ago

This 17 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley is starting to drink at its peak, although I'm drinking out of a Magnum.
Showing a beautiful nose with lots of complexity. Rich and extracted, elegant and powerful.
