Dark ruby with blueberries, black currant, dark cherry, oak, and smoke. Tannins in control, smooth with a long finish. Great with our Ribeyes and Meat Church Cowboy butter! Very Nice! — 7 months ago
I’ve had this vintage several times over the last few yrs. I had it two yrs ago w/ Andy Beckstoffer & Tor Kenward. This is the weakest link I’ve had. It simply lacked the proper storage of the previous bottles I’ve had.
The color is still dark and the fruit is still intact. But this bottle has just started its plum, date, dark raisin and fig stage. Let me say again…just.
This is 13% ABV…love it. As I do with many 80’s Napa & Bordeaux’s. It does get better with each coldish coravined sip.
The tannins are well resolved and there is complete integration & evolution. Plum,s date, dark raisin & fig. Ripe, juicy; blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries & dark spiced circling raspberries. Potpourri, baking spice delight-soft clove, nutmeg, cinnamon stick & vanilla, understated caramel, dark chocolate baking bar to chocolate pudding, milk chocolate, moist herbs, hints of mushrooms, saline, dry soil/limestone powder, forest floor with leaves, used tobacco & leather, gentle graphite, moist clay, dark spice w/ mid palate heat, withering dark, red flowers, violets & lavender, round, rainfall acidity with a well balanced, elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds and long sets on earth & spices. — 14 days ago
Really excellent. Fantastic with steak. Classic cab — 2 months 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

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. — 3 days ago
Nice lemon — acid friendly…at amalfi. — 18 days ago
11th anniversary wine. Blew me away. Good reminder that there is still value in Napa. Vineyard we got engaged at, from the year we met. Special. — 4 months ago
A real favorite. What a value — 6 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
Light, easy-drinking & versatile with food that’s not too heavy. Really enjoyed this for an everyday white. — 7 months ago

Black cherry, clove, dusty cigar humidor and some milk chocolate but this doesn't support the price point. More of a red blend profile. Might need some time. — 13 days ago
