1hr+ decant. Super complex wine. Somewhere between Napa and Bordeaux. I’m at a loss for words on how to describe other than that it was awesome! Drinking beautifully now. — 5 days ago

Not their best vintage, but still one of the better Cabernets that I’ve had (behind their better vintages). — a month ago

Really tasting amazing. Lots of tartrate crystals. Paired fantastically with a mushroom bolognese. — 6 months ago

2021 opened April 2025. This is a luscious wine, but I can’t help but nitpick. All the individual components are very one-dimensional. That’s not to say they all don’t work together well to make a great wine – but there’s nothing challenging on the palate about this vintage. If you like the monolithic cabs produced by Opus 1, then this wine is for you. However, I’d prefer a little more quirky individualism in my tipples.

The nose is overwhelmingly tobacco. The front is heavy with red fruit. The tannic structure is heavy, smooth, and silky. It has a medium long finish with hints of volcanic minerals. This wine is so perfect that it’s boring. If you like perfect perfection then up my score to 100 points, but I like the little challenges that quirky vintages give me. — 12 days ago

Bramble on the nose. Betting this is whole cluster since you definitely taste some greenness. Long full mouth finish but it’s a little on the sharper side for me versus the CA plush. — 2 months ago

Liking it better a day later. Much more plush and flavors are coming through. Upgrading score
