Enjoying the last night of 2021 with hopes that 2022 represents a step away from the issues we have faced in 2021. Nothing like drinking a bottle of wine from undoubtedly a first growth vineyard in Napa. Deep purple in color. Deep hints of blackberry pie, cassis and baking spices on the nose. A beautifully integrated harmony of fruit, acidity and tannins on the first taste. Blueberries, dark plums, cinnamon and white pepper on the pallet. The finish is luscious! Happy New Year everyone! — 25 days ago

Very similar to the Old Sparky. Smokey nose with hints of maple syrup leads into cherry compote. Powerful tannins add to the layers of black, mature fruits and linze torte. Laser-focused finish. Exceptional.

Rally light. Delish. Fruit flavours pop off the tongue, but really smooth. Missing the buttery feel@to make it a solid 10. — a month ago

Love this wine - a notch better than the Schrader RBS imo - Both were amazing - crimson ruby color and it’s a baby still - omg so damn good - black fruits - cherry, currant and blackberry - tertiary notes apparent - deep forrest floor, vanilla, mocha, cedar, graphite cloves and a lovely lavender aroma - bolder than I expected - full-bodied - silky but firm tannins - extremely long finish (45 seconds I bet) — 2 months ago

If you’ve ever watched high school kids with money, that’s how it felt last night. The Old Sparky was top shelf, displaying black cherries, perhaps a hint of fruitcake, and cocoa powder. Layered and still quite tannic. Finish shows the pedigree of the wine - untouchable.
Personally, I didn’t attempt to ID wotn, as there were so many outstanding bottles.
However, best of all was the company who we shared these wonderful gems with. Love em all. — 4 months ago
