What a great mid range priced bottle this is. Same wine maker from Bueno Vista, Christophe is based out of St. Helena in Napa. First off, the nose is GORGEOUS with notes of dark chocolate covered cherries and vanilla, and the pallet is just so silky smooth with a firm, yet forgiving tannin ending in sweet tobacco and smoked chocolate bliss. Can't wait to give their Oakville a try, as to which this Napa label is a brand new product in the world! Definitely worth a try!

Superb, sublime & smooth - S to the 3rd power. Has a fantastic ride from nose to tongue with a finish that is like an Olympic diver entering the water without a giant splash from 40ft…it’s just that smooth. I’m suddenly wishing I would have purchased another bottle. Mature red fruit, masterful finish and a lingering note that just speaks to near perfection. Buy 2 of these at a time!

Medium plus body, beautiful length, raspberry and black fruit notes, does well with aeration. Notes of chocolate make the finish very appealing.

Really faint on the nose with chocolate and berries and really faint and week on the palate as well. Would have probably let it age a good 5 years but now it's too late.
