Stubborn acidity that was quite excessive in previous bottles has finally given in, so this was an enjoyable bottle. Nicely balanced with good complexity, it really went well with bbq rack of lamb chops. — 7 days ago

The somm at Spago Las Vegas recommended this to go with poached halibut. Nice choice. Minerally, not oaky. A bit of citrus “surprise”. — 5 months ago

2024 vintage. Old-school, Oregon pinot stylings that just hit differently. Medium body. Starts off as a lowly workhorse, then intensifies into the thoroughbred this winery is perfectly capable of raising. Picked up two cases at a resto cost sub-$25 a btl. 4.1.26. — 6 months ago
2021 vintage. Decanted and passed, with high air, between two decanters four times. If it were Caymus, woulda used a blender and forgotten. Last tasted 8.5.26 (9.6) Older (60's, 70's and early 80's) vintages more fruit driven which is quite the surprise in the current Napa Cab climate. Arguably the best GDL Private Reserve this estate has ever made. That goes back six decades. Supple, velveteen entry without the temptations of appearing over-extended. Structured mid-palate. A seeker's wandering, yet undeniably substantial finish. Taste it and you tell me. — 5 days ago

We had the 2012 vintage on 10/10-11/26. Black fruit and some earthy, woody scents on the bouquet. BlackBerry, plum, currant and mild spice on the palate. Fruit forward, New World, well balanced, medium to full bodied. A good Napa Floor Cab. Tannins smoothed out. Decant and ready to drink — 3 days ago
