Casa Piena

Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Best Cabernet I've had to date. Pricey, worth it. Second would be Heitz C91.
This Thomas Rivers Brown masterpiece is like sinking into a well loved leather clad Attorondak and being hugged by boysenberry, cassis, earl gray, coffee, cream, graphite and baking spice. All in perfect harmony. An incredible wine from Napa that makes me realize it's significance in producing A+ fruit, with A+ execution from a master. — 2 months ago

Like sinking your teeth into a fat bouquet of pink roses. With a hint of peach. Scent is gorgeous. Also salted melon. Earthy and rustic. Tastes of the earth. Not delicate even though you’d think so. Not pretentious and not fooling around. — 5 years ago

Another stellar wine from Mike and Rhonda.
A lovely surprise. Not your typical bombastic cab. A model of balance and restraint. Moderate sweetness combines with subtle acidity. Subtle sweetness combines with coffee and tobacco notes. Finish is like sinking into a black hole. This will cellar for donkeys years. — 6 years ago

You know it is a good night of wines when a mature bottle of 100 acres is coming in third

Stunner - just dense & inky, brooding effusive nose of a berry compote, rich ripe saturated with pervasive spine of minerality, Herbes de Provence. Just jaw dropping. So soft & plush on palate, like sinking into an old Cadillac, crushed velvet, gobs of dark fruit, sweet baking spices, pepper and extraordinary length on finish. Tasted w/vintner prior to release (knew it would be epic) - drank & sold a lot of this. In the zone now w/many years ahead — 4 years ago

Warm and full and encompassing. Served chilled, each sip nevertheless becomes an August ocean, relaxing and sinking you into yourself.
High rating for the intense experience. Do not order in a place it is best to keep your eyes open. — 4 years ago

Interesting TCA experience. As soon as I removed the capsule, there was an overwhelming blast of TCA. Got the Durand with a sinking feeling. Cork came out easily and it was very heavy and with a dense grain. Decanted. . . and it's fine. Better than fine. Cigar box, sweet plum goodness. Went back and smelled the top of the cork thinking maybe it was my upper lip, but nope, that thing reeks of TCA. Weird. But happy. — 7 years ago
