A little nostalgic, because we visited this place. Absolutely delish. Get that Petite Sirah on the finish is like jelly on the toast. It’s soooo good

As soon as I tasted WB....I bought a case for personal cellar. Massive well-balanced blend.

Hedonic, ripe fruits and the sweetness of a heavy new oak regimen. Mouth-filling long lasting. If you like this style it's done just right.

Very nice. Almost cab-like and a little earthy. Only complaint is it's not overly complex. Very nice on the finish.
