Our favorite Napa cab in the $70 price bracket. Nose displays cherries and coffee. Palate is so well balanced with sage, sandalwood and soft brown sugar. Finish extends and expands. Youthful and energetic.

Mixed spice on the nose transitions to honeydew melon and roasted nuts and elderflower. Possesses depth and texture with moderate acidity. Nice lengthy finish. Loving this…

Get some of this direct from the winery. For the loot, one of the very best Cali SB’s out there…

Mo had this at 94, I had it at 92. For me, it was nice, but bone dry, and lacked density and that sweet finish I like from Cali wines. This concluded somewhat bitter for me.

Winemaker has recently announced that he’ll no longer make this. It’s well behaved and shows its vineyard pedigree. A good rosé bites the dust - Bivio, Montclair. — 8 months ago

I read like a broken record. My prior notes apply. Excellent, contemporary example of the varietal. Bivio Pizzeria, Montclair, NJ. — 8 months ago

Aligned with Vinous on this. Not quite as nuanced and textured as the Hudson SV’s, more delicate, but still impressive. See prior notes for more details.

Visited the winery approx. 4 years ago - our fave Italian producer.
While it requires further bottle development, its pedigree is shining. A more traditional presentation which displays olives, spice box and overripe plums. Moderate tannins are tucked in with soft acidity. You’re tasting the terroir and wine making skills here. No “construction” required. Excellent.

This is holding up surprisingly well. Nose present roasted pineapple, rosemary and hints of bread. Palette is balanced and restrained. Sweet notes and soft acidity caress the mid palate. Glorious combination with outstanding pizza. Bivio, Montclair. — 5 months ago
