Englishman Jonathan Maltus (of La Dome) Napa project. Nose shows blackcurrant, plum, cassis, pencil shavings, and clove with a herbaceous undertone. Juicy with medium to full body. Velvety tannins. Stylish, but lacking a bit of depth and complexity. — 2 months ago
Dark, viscous motor oil and blackberry. Tasty, but needs another 8yr or so. — 3 days ago

Deep Ruby, pronounced aromas and flavors of blackberry, plum, cassis, black cherry, cedar, vanilla, tobacco leaf and forest floor. Already showing some tertiary notes. Lovely balance of fruit and savory elements, ripe fine-grained tannin and a very long finish. Wonderful wine, easy to appreciate now but with 5 or 10 more years ahead. — 25 days ago

This wine is an absolute standout, delivering a rich and full-bodied experience that doesn't disappoint. From the first sip, it bursts with deep berry flavors, offering a perfect balance of ripe fruit and complexity. Hints of tobacco and licorice add depth, while a subtle touch of chocolate rounds out the finish beautifully. The structure is bold yet smooth, making every glass an indulgent experience — 11 days ago
