This wine was superb. I think it’s drinking really well at this time. Smooth, well-aged, classic Napa cab. Balance of fruit and secondary flavors, not too tannic. $149.99. 92 points RP. — 18 days ago
Stunning. Aromatic with black fruit and cassis. Mild tannins after letting it breath. — 15 days ago
A beautiful diamond in the rough that smells deeply of ancient oaks upon oncorking. The acidity matches the flavor well, like a mountain breeze that wakes the senses. — 12 days ago

Grafs family minus K visit (Ho left) mom BD 5/7/22. Cab lineup through the decades. As previous. As with the’69 Martini it went well with grilled salmon. Hsing’s pick on 5/9 though it had faded a bit and the hint of sweetness had mostly disappeared. — 12 days ago
Blend of 96% Sauv Blanc with 4% Sauv Gris adding an interesting dynamic to the wine & distinctive aromas (prior to ‘18 vintage some Semillon added). Pale lemon color, citrus, tropical & floral aromas. On the palate peach, melon, herb & earthy tones, well balanced with acidity, smooth yet robust on a long finish ending rich with wet stone character. Good value! A Fav!! Very consistent! — 11 days ago
