A lovely Julian Fayard produces wine. Cab, Petit Verdot and Syrah. Smooth and silky. Rose and lavender pedals to the nose. Red Fruit with boysenberry and caramel flavor popping through on the finish.

Most likely Cab, Merlot, Cab Franc. Solid wine that showed restraint seldom found in Napa at this price point recently.

2008 proprietary blend. Tastes like really good merlot and franc then can finish. Good job Julian.

Just strong and bold with no attempt to provide any structure or flavor profile. Sweet Cabernet dominance to start followed by harsh acidity in the finish. Not worth buying.

A heck of a wine. Lots of herbs and pepper to this one. Really opened up with decanting. Love this wine.

Very nice wine. Let it sit out for a bit and it will smooth out. Nice dark fruit and pepper finish. Can't remember the blend but it seems like it's a Cab Franc finish. Could have held this one for a bit longer.
